Thanks for the kind words and encouragement gents. They are greatly appreciated. I never claimed to be the best base tweaker, passer, coach, etc. I do try to do things that I feel best promote the hobby. I also insist on straight forward honesty. Though that approach isn't always popular, without it we have nothing worthwhile in the end.

Recovery has been slowed to a snails pace for me lately. I also fell (literally) victim to a recent setback. I tripped while trying to navigate a sea of canines in my LR and took a very hard fall on my left hip and ribs. This has put me back about 2 months in some areas but seems to have gotten a little better over the last couple of days. As long as I continue to make progress in my recovery, look for me to get out and about a bit more in the not too distant future........ leg bag and pull-ups mandatory or optional.
