Well - another lurker from way back when! How are you doing Tom? If I remember rightly, you were turning wooden reel seat blanks on your lathe a few years ago. I think that you have mis-typed walks for talks because Tony is unable to manage long walks but he still does fine work building bamboo 1 wt rods!
Until just last week, I was having problems with excessive robocalls to my mobile phone usually 800 numbers but not always and frequently in Chinese. I contacted my phone company and they did something their end to stop the robocalls and so far it has been very effective and the best part is that it cost nothing. You can get software to remove junk email before it gets to you - something to consider. Anyhow, it is good to hear from you again as it has been a long time.
