That should allow more time to find 3.7 substitutes, potentially less pain.

And > my SS kicks in next month... I think thats a good description here too. Mostly self-unemployed altho I do keep our local AM on the air. All the old engineers that used to do that have fallen by the wayside since I retired, seems like a disproportionate number from cancer, but so far, other than a couple pieces of skin, I've escaped that. Your pix on the 4 wheeler makes that look like 20 less. OTOH, so does the pix on my front page, I've been 40 lbs lighter for most of a decade now, and my beard is a bit whiter. The lady beside me is now stuck in a recliner, having fallen and breaking a hip and a leg, and more recently the achilles tendon failed on the same side, twice since 2 years ago last February. Heavy smoker, bones like paper mache. So I'm now supplying all the input, and disposing of the output. The COPD doesn't leave room to eat much, so shes maybe 70 lbs these days. The pig in the sink eats better than she does. [...] > From 65 on you do not need a fishing license in Missouri, Same here in WV.
