@Sigh no problem at all, always a worry when long standing ones go quiet.

My retirement 1st birthday in a couple of weeks (16 Jan).

It’s been one crazy white knuckle ride of a year: 2 house moves, 7 foreign holidays, 1 injury wrecking a race I’d been building to for a decade and some aftershocks from death of my wife in 2022.

I’m hoping for something quieter this year!

HNY to all retirees….
