Elson thanks for asking if I am still around and kicking, Well I am somewhat, I am still seeing my Doctors about my bad knees but now I added to those problems by breaking a Bone in my foot and screwing up the ligament also, So I have had my foot in a Cast for 1 month with another month to go---I now get around with a walker, just like Vern will be doing in due time ! My D%* Knees have got bad enough that I can no longer do any detecting and I have to have (T. that are F.) to be able to have my Knee's replaced, I hope to get that completed before Kaiser comes up with another idea to put it off longer just like they have done before ! I am going back to restart a old hobby since I can't detect any more---I got a few lens and a New Nikon 7000 which I had to get because my camera was another thing my G.S. borrowed along with money and my $1300 pair of binoculars But Now I can start taking pictures again and until I get the cast off will have to be mostly from my truck window---Oh and I should get 3 Pistols back from the Police that were borrowed from me when I was out of my house by my grandson I also bought some more (New) pistols to practice shooting again Both Springfield one a Compact 45 and a 380 which I can carry in my left shirt pocket which I do 24 hrs a day So I will try to sign in more often. All I have been doing for quite some time is to do looking up old time people and reading there life history some old western gunmen and some in the 1930 to 1940 time era! Hope you get out with New machine you got a few Months ago and get a few silver $ and maybe a dozen or so 20 $ gold pieces !? see you all later and you 2 Mr. E.---DeathWind1 (OR) R.R.R.
