Hello Daryl,

I'm at that point to where I have to go to the podiatrist more often but since
I go through the VA it is at no (financial) cost to me.  My hands are getting
more and more knurled.  I'm hoping to talk to physical therapy to get a
paraffin warmer to use with my hands to keep this damn stiffness at bay.

I've not had any surgeries yet but if my right foot goes bad, my right leg
will be amputated above the right knee; no question.

Let's see ... I have the FidoGazette and my Fido echoes to deal with, running
Micronet ... working on MBSE and writing its documentation ... working on
Cheepware ... always something BBS-related to do.

Now if I had a working HF radio, I'd be busy with that too.

My health always keeps me busy whether I like it or not.
