Figure that as long as it is running, don't touch anything. But there is some cleaning that needs doing. And discussions of the course ahead. I don’t go down into the engine room much anymore.

But on my way to the backroom I see some familiar names posted here, Podrock, Podrock, RobVG, BuckGalaxy, Tony and Podrock. Sounds like a law firm. Hi back atcha all. Good to see some familiar old friends. I need to go bang on some pipes and poke gingerly at live wires strung on ceramic insulators. Metaphorically. I'll be back in a bit, though after summing up retirement in a short paragraph...well, perhaps I've leaned into retirement too much, and need to stretch a bit. Later... …hi ho, it’s off to work I go.

I wrote a post (a couple years ago now I think) asking if anyone had heard from you. Yeah, we're down to the last few diehards here and recruitment has been futile. As the saying goes, time waits for no one. We're all getting older so the Zone's future seems sadly inevitable... Please check in more often and keep us updated on your retirement life. Also, dive into any discussions! Cheers, brother! So glad you are in relatively good shape. I wrote a post (a couple years ago now I think) asking if anyone had heard from you.
