A New Dawn,

[43rdRecceReg]

Herman is never far from my thoughts, I wish you well in 2018, and you are right, we all live in a relatively safe world, all things considered.
Me? Well since the 14th December I have been to hell and back every night and day. What started out as a completely routine scan, which found nothing, turned into something else entirely. It's 21:24 on New Years Eve here in Blighty, and I have to get my backside to a hospital at 23:15 to get a diagnosis on the latest developments.

Ho hum...

I've endured a few scare scans and blood tests in the past, Rob. Luckily, that's all they were: scares. Fingers crossed here, and no doubt throughout the RCTW community too, for a positive scare-free
outcome. Chin up...

Good morning,
Still here, no hangovers, no incarceration events ( tho' as I mentioned to the General last night, I considered firing a large revolver off out on my front stoop. I decided not to as I didn't want to panic the herd of cattle grazing out on the NW border of our land. ) I celebrated with the Mate with each a single shot of the good stuff ( 120 proof ) and went to bed to catch up on the Forum again. Get better, W.W.. A Happy New Years to all.
regards,
Painless
