Back in the saddle again

[990rick]

I just got out of the VA hospital after having an unanticipated double bypass. I'm looking forward to getting back into these forums but am still low on energy. And in case any anti-pipe zealots are shaking their heads in smug dismay, thie was caused by a year of breathing Agent Orange on China Beach not by four months of pipe smoking. Speaking of which...

Welcome back Rick. The list of "presumptive diseases" for Agent Orange is constantly growing.

Heal quickly and have a pipe or two it will help you stay calm and heal faster. I was in the service (USNR- USMC) during the fun in SE asia but I was'nt there thanks for your time there.

Welcome back, Rick....You've been missed.

 

[mjtannen]

Heal fast bud. If the VA took you in and kicked you out you're good to go so sleep well and rest up for the fun ahead in the years to come.
