[ARC5] Getting Old Suuuuuucks...

[Rich Arland]

I'm right up there with you, David, and rest of you OPs. Turning 75 March 6th and this "gettin' old" crap ain't for lightweights.

In March I get the dubious honor of getting a new heart valve...REALLY looking forward to that trip to the ER.

OK...enough is enough. Here I am sounding like one of the OPs (that would be "Old Pharts) on 75 meters!!)

Good luck finding that box a new home. Stay safe Brother.
