'OT' why ive been off line

Hi all, since were a semi family here on FTE, some of us wonder when someone goes aol. ( I know I do) So I figured Id let ya know where Ive been. Ive been having some health trouble, some related to the "RA" some not. Nothing unique and nothing to wory about, just painful mostly, so save the prayers Im ok, just cant use my hands lately. On a good day I work on my c4 prodject, wich is coming along, and yes Im taking pics. Well thats it, I just didnt want you to think I bailed. Ill be on the board ASAP. Miss you guys.

Jimmy,

I know you asked to save the prayers but prayers don't work while in "save" mode...

So, I'll be saying a few extra ones as soon as I can think coherantly - after my 1st cup of coffee.

Take it easy and enjoy.

Paul
