Hi Jerry,

I had one of those which they replaced with a real one after just one 
year.  I'm not even going to try for another.

I just had new 20 gallon tip tanks, solid state position lights and 
solid state strobes installed and have never flown it since.

Welll... This time they implanted a defibrillator due to the heart 
attack back in August.  My left shoulder and a good portion of my chest 
is still purple. It hasn't had time to go through the technicolor stages 
yet.  "They say" in the instructions to start out walking about a 100 
feet per day.  The day I came home (4 1/2 hours after the surgery) I 
made 3 trips to the shop which is 100 feet each way.  Typically I put in 
between 1000 and 2000 just going out to the shop and back plus the 
towers. I am going to move the coax to the AV640 from the remote antenna 
switch direct to the feed from the den.  Then I'll at least have 40 
through 6 on the old 756 Pro in here.  It'd be nice to have the 
FTDX5000MP in here, but that thing is almost 50# more than they'll let 
me lift for the next 6 weeks.  That is one big, heavy rig. <:-))  But it 
does have 200 watts out on six!

I don't think Joyce could get the old Alpha 76 in here and the Emtron 
DX-2sp weighs a lot more than it. That's a 2 man job to move it.

Still light snow coming down, but we only had a couple inches of snow. 
20 miles North, West, or South they had 5 to 6 inches. But we can take 
heart, I think it's show for 5 of the next 7 days. <:-))

BTW I was in the middle of telling the doc a joke and next thing I knew 
I was looking at the ceiling lights back in my room.  They told my wife 
I was talking but not making any sense. She said, "He does that all the 
time anyway so he must be back to normal already"...I wonder if I ever 
got to the punch line. I never had it wear off that fast before. It only 
took about 5 minutes or less to get back to being alert and making 
sense...I think.
