Haven't seen any posts coming from him in a few weeks now, tried to PM him but no response yet after a couple of days.

Just a wellness check.

AIUI his absence is NOT due to a trip to a hospital. I KNOW NOTHING ELSE other than it appears to have been premeditated.

Thanks for the expressions of concern. I am well. Probably feeling better than I have since my surgery (many months ago). I have been on a 2000+ mile shake out cruise of the travel trailer that I have been helping to restore. It was (at one time long ago) mine but now belongs to my oldest daughter. We formed a family caravan and went to my oldest grand daughters home in New Braunfels, TX for a family Christmas party.

The shake down cruise revealed some work that still needs to be done but that will take days rather than months/years to complete. We started this restoration before my first cardiac episode which slowed the process considerably.

This was early in the process ... way early.
Sorta where we came from.

And a very nice looking job on the trailer... :) I have done a number of restorations on different things and can appreciate just how much work is indicated here.
I have investigated doing such work for some $$$$ but my size and stiff joints have usually steered me away. Kind of bad claustrophobia doesn't help... :rolleyes:
