  1. Hello R & C,

    My email is down, and has been for a week. My ISP started sending out filthy porn massagers under my name. My account was hacked.

    I told them to just shut it down until they solved the problem.

    Still down.

    Sorry we missed you.

    Since I have no other way to contact you - I’ll clutter up your blog by telling you this here - I go under the eye surgeons knife next Wed, Then again the following Wed. Say a small prayer that all goes well.

    Once I can see again, maybe we’ll meet up with you up north. The DeFever is ready to go.
