Stan, it is now 3 months with my new knee and on your advice I take a supplement of vitamin C every day.  I just bought another R22 from Florida and my friends has to bring it home for me.  It is sad how some people totally disrespect the R22 and don’t give it the love it deserves.  The boat is a 2008 and believe it’s never been to the Factory for a refit. It has most of your bells and whistles but not maintained.  I did a FaceTime with the old owner and of course here only showed what I wanted to see.  That be said I own it now and started to clean it up and make a list of its short comings.  Do you have a boat for this year’s show or are you done with all that?  I should be able to help this year if needed.  Im not getting the other knee replacement until after theBig show.
Let me know your thoughts and I’ll stay in touch.Regards John

ED, seems whatever technical gods there be, must be working today. Here 
I am in the middle of a book long response to your prior email when I 
hear my Apple signal an incoming new message.

Hang in there. I am hoping to hit 'send' today, tomorrow the latest.  My 
problem is age.  After 94 I noticed my mind and my body starting to part 
company; they both are slowing down but for different excuses: It takes 
more energy to get me out of bed each day so less hours available for 
work. While each year that I manage to make it through, whether I want 
to or not, I get a little more knowledgeable, "smarts" that I feel I 
should be passing along.  And that slows me down.

Smith Mountain Lake?  One of her haunts Rose told me about. She was a 
hill billy from Roanoke who got an RN license from the Medical College 
of VA that opened the world for her and added a bit more validity to 
grandma's belief of opposites attracting. I have not seen friends or 
family come near our 72 years of such joyous living as one. The business 
offers some small relief from the pain so that remains the plan.
