I wish it were that simple. Alas, I shall never give up the nectar of the gods.
Sorry about that It must be tough . Hopefully you’ll find a reason but the necker of the gods is good even if you don’t have a problem . 😋
 
Good morning Smorgies !! 😎
Good morning CB, when I buy the boat from the guy in Venezuela I might be stopping by to say hola.

I'm a necker from way back and, no, never had a problem. 😆
 
Good morning and Happy Friday!

Been up since 2:00 this morning doing this and that but mostly that. Ahhh, the joy of a boy who has never slept well. Yes, I guess you can call me a joy boy and, maybe even, a fun-time joy boy. (IYKYK)

Wishing you all a fabulous Friday!
Good morning Chris
