Thanks for the comments labug, Maritimer, PM and SIAS, appreciate you taking the time for that.

Also forgot to mention that on Sunday (Corps bd) grabbed a bottle and a couple of shot glasses and went to a neighbor’s house for a quick toast. We had been saying for a few years that we needed to do it and neither of us took the initiative until this year. We chatted for about 30 mins and agreed that next year we should do it again somewhere. He and his W seemed appreciative that I came over.

Will try to provide a bit more of an update later……..

Semper Fi!
