Haven't heard from you for awhile Mike.  What you been up to? 

went to canada fishing and then had double hernia surgery when i came back.  haven't been doing much of anything.  feeling much better but still limited in what i'm supposed to do.  fall is always the time of year when i have the most stuff going on too but it's my favorite season.  longer rides in the car are much more tolerable than they were a week or so ago.  hope to make it to the october meeting.  

Good to hear you are alive and kickin'!

the hernias were pre-existing to the trip.  almost had it done before glad i waited.
