Actually, everyone heard you were showing up this morning. I tried to tell them, "Hey, he's ok. Really, he is." But I got a whole bunch of DM's telling me I should not be fooled. For now, though, I think you're alright. Especially if you keep tagging me in giveaways. Oh, and a little Christmas card with a big check in it would go a long way too!
🤣
Haha morning Chris.

Define a big check? My definition of a big check and yours might be different
Considering Jimmy @ShakeyGizzard may go with the least expensive option, for this reason and in this case, my big check will be $.38 lower than whatever yours is.

Good morning, all!

Looks like I missed quite a bit this weekend as I was very spotty on here. It will all have to remain a mystery as I am not going to read all the pages I missed. Well, maybe not so much a mystery as I am sure there was coffee, beer, food, movies, music, tomfoolery and plenty of chicanery too. Oh, and maybe even some reefing stuff.

Wishing you all a magical Monday!


Morning Chris !
