Let me be the first to say, "Glad you are still with us and relatively ok"

I hope the surgery goes well with the arm and no nerve damage.

The older we get the slower we heal!

Sorry to hear, but glad you're alive. Looking forward to some pictures of the (banged up?) life saver.

Thanks for the encouragement. I was about 5 miles north of Waynesville, can't remember the Hwy cross steet. Leather works I promise.
