Thanks guys. I am amazed at how quickly body parts fall apart, though I guess it's about time for them to wear out after 79 years of hard living. I think back to 2012 when I was cruising down the Intra_coastal waterway and Atlantic coast by myself, to the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, battling storms, and feeling somewhat invincible. I celebrated my 72nd birthday on the waterway, hiding in a Myrtle Beach marina, playing music and waiting for a hurricane to pass so I could continue the trip. Now, just 8, short, years later, the boat is gone, and a lot of body parts are no longer capable of doing what they were doing back then.

Gonna fire up the S-950 later tonight and see if I can still play. (keeping my fingers crossed.)

All the best,

Gary
