Congrats on the Anniversary! Good luck on the replacement surgery, too. Give my regards to Dot and Robert, and I wish all of your family a blessed Christmas, and a great New Year!

Good Morning my VFB friends.
I have been off list for a while but I had to get back on for a short to wish you all
A very Joyous and safe Holiday Season.
Today I have been married to the same lady for 53 years. Yes, I am older than dirt.
It is also one year today that I had the knee replacement done.
I have received some messages from list members that have been concerned about my welfare.
I just had too much to do and the spam got out of hand. I now have a spam blocker through my server, this keeps me from sifting through a load of junk.
I have also been having problems with the knee replacement . It seems that the metal is being rejected by my body system.
This has kept me from spending time at the tying bench and getting other things done. It has also kept me from doing fly fishing shows, it is frustrating.
I will be back on the list for two weeks and then off again for a while. Will be going back on January 5 th. to have the knee replaced again with a ceramic coated knee joint. Hope that will solve the problem. I will be in for about 17 days for surgery and rehab with another three months of rehab after I go home. Will get back on list again when I can sit at the computer.
I hope to get some tying in while recouping. I am anxious to start tying with the CDC I got from Harry Mason. These feathers look very interesting. Have not tied much with CDC. I am sure Hans can give me some hints.
Now to get back to Fly fishing things.
I still have to finish wrapping a rod and have two bamboo blanks to make before the surgery so I had better get off this electronic monster and get to work.
Thanks again to all my friends on this list for just being a friend..
