Ahhhh...Good to hear you are still alive and kicking...I thought those old moose flies would have torn you limb to limb by now..

Yep Rory is taking the tour tomorrow so I expect we shall hear from as soon as he gets back..He gives a great report..

You'll do well at $3.00...the Sally Ann has all sorts of good gear...as a matter of fact me and the missus have been going through stuff and its just about been a steady trek from our house over there with bags of stuff that we haven't used for years..new rule around here..If you bring in one bag of stuff..other than food..two bags go out..

As for the boozin' I figured that if I got up early enough,I could knock back a couple of night caps...still dark ..eh..??

But I been going easy on it lately..

Couple of night caps..a double of Kalua with my first coffee..another double at coffee break at nine..and then that usually will hold me till I get into the Ripple with my cheeze sandwich at lunch..then a siesta til two with an eye opener before break at three with a double Tia maria with my afternoon coffee...

And by that time the sun is over the yard arm and I lighten up with a pitcher of beer and am usually at the dinner table by 5 after a cocktail ..usually a Manhatten or two..with a crock of white or red wine with dinner,depending what it is..and so it goes..

This retirement is killing me..AND I have a problem...Granny fell off the wagon last week and is acting up and I'm trying to set an example of sober living for her..

But I think we are starting our roll with KXL and it is getting exciting around here again.
