Hello fellow Geeks just wanted to let you know all is well.It all started when my daughter had a baby that was born a bit earlier then expected, long story short all is well.

Then on October 27 ( which was my last long in) was my last day of work retired with 25 years as an Animal Control Officer, with the City of Rock Island Police Department.

Then a couple weeks after that took a trip to Myrtle Beach to get ready for retirement, lol. Came back then three days later went to Denver to the Broncos/ Browns game.

Last is I don't have a computer at home and doing things on my Kindle really is a pain.

I'll try and do better on dropping in. However another trip is coming in a week, I'll be heading to Costa Rica for 3 weeks, my retirement gift from my wife, staying with a friend who has a house there.

Nice, congrats on your retirement!

Congratulations.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.
