Hi bikerbc, Thank you very, very much for your concern. It is appreciated. I just went through major surgery in Las Vegas. I had a portion of one of my kidneys removed. So I will probably be down from flying for awhile, but I certainly will be back soon on RCU, as you can tell by the picture.

Thanks again!

John, I got a little scared when I saw your name on the front page here. I am glad to hear though that you are ok and I wish you a speedy recovery. I hope you get back in the air soon.
In the mean time I'll have a drink and toast you a Merry Christmas.

John, Your wisdom that you kindly share on RCU is much appreciated by all. Get well and hope your home for the holidays. By the way, whats wrong with Gray Beard, offering to take you out for "a few drinks and a show"? Skip the drinks and just take in the show!!

John, you have given so much of yourself back to the hobby over the years, but part of a kidney is over the top. While you may be slowed down as you recover, we look forward to your next achievement. Get well soon.

Thanks so much to one and all. Its now the 17th I think and its been a merrygoroung kind of thing For a while I was in one of those old peoples half way houses right after the operation but somehow my daughter Has finally facuultated my release from that place where I was completly cut off from the world.

Finally got to see my surgeon who is shocked how well its going at this stage and i will be coming back strong this year getting wet or not, with another attempt at the Lauglin to London Bridge, The The Catalina flight. Also this whole thing has filled my head with new ideas on the gympy guy thing and even getting more of them pro active.

I just got back home this evening but for the next few days will have to be goining back and forth to Las so can,t communicate much but agine thanks to all, I mean that!


John
