I'm back, Just got home from my birthday dinner . . . was a good day besides having to contemplate the years involved !!! Just glanced at my mail for a moment . . . and am trying to think of what to say to my NY buddy. As I mentiond in my last post I had asked him of another favor. In his reply he said not only will he inventory the wood in the kit, he's going to outline the parts in the wood and take digital photos of the sheets so I'll have a good idea of how to lay them out.

What can I say. Someone who I've never met, and most likely will never meet willing to take so much of his time to make things easier for me, a stranger. When I did what I did for him I certainly never expected anything in return except for a thank you from him. Gosh, there are still really good people out there, sometimes that's hard to remember that from day to day after five or six people have been rude on the road or having to deal with sales clerks who often think they are doing you a favor to take your money and often seem to view you with distain.

There have been so many like him here on RCU, to all of you I so much wish you thanks and hope in someway the things I write here are helpful to you.

53 min. and the 49th 'B-day' is done, it's been a good one and despite my health setbacks, a good year . . . much in part to people like you.
