    Default Overhaul progressing nicely!*G*

    Hello Friends,

    Last year I commented on the fact that I was, with the help of my
    doctor, working towards a complete overhaul upon my person.*G*

    Latest status is that the knees are now both in good working order
    and the total knee replacement on my right knee is performing
    admirably. My doctor has released me to again launch my bass
    boat single handedly and pursue the finned denizens of my fishery
    to my hearts content.

    In addition, we have reduced my cholesterol numbers to near
    optimum and have assumed much better eating habits.*G*

    I have also been totally nicotine free for nearly four months with a
    minimum of unpleasant cravings. At the same time I reduced my
    caffine intake, which was considerable, to a level of about 25 % of
    what it was.

    Currently recouping from several recent bouts of oral surgury and
    probably just a few days from enjoying a good cut of beef off of the
    grill with a nice pink tint to it.*G*

    Today marks a milestone in my endeavor of becoming a full time
    "Gill Bum" as it is my 62nd birthday and the addition of Social
    Security to my other retirement funds is noteworthy in that it puts
    a number of grass rods in the field of practical rather than merely pipe dreams.*G*

    I have regretfully been absent from the boards a goodly amount
    in recent months, however, I anticipate returning to same with
    vigor in view of the gains made.*G* I fully hope and anticipate
    that I will in the coming months though the use of digital photo's
    and stories of my personal exploits here on the Santee Cooper
    Lakes of South Carolina, specically created by God for discerning
    fishers of bluegills and red eared sunfish, create a sense of jealousy and longing that many will be hard pressed to ignore.
    Fear not however as my door is always open and I often have
    a spare seat available in my bass boat.*G* Warm regards, Jim

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Hey Jim,
    Good to hear you're on a "multi-faceted" mend. Good luck in all those areas.

    AND, of course, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

    Glad to hear from you. Welcome to 62 you youngun. I'll be leaving that figure this fall for good but I'll feel better knowing it is in capable hands. Keep the motor chained to the boat and the trailer chained to the car and you'll have a great time. Welcome back friend.
