Sad!

The report I saw said he was 69.

This one tears me up... Even at 127, that’s way too young. The coolest dude ever. R.I.P. Mr. Redbone.

Hey Rick, seeing your handle around here is a breath of fresh air.
You're well, I hope?

I’ve been better. But I am making it. I’ve been dealing with some pretty severe issues with my back. Five surgeries in the last four years and one more scheduled in July. I read the forums to try and keep up with everyone. I hope all is well with you and your family.

Oh wow, I hope this next one does the trick, but we know what a rabbit-hole back surgery can really be. Prayers up.
My kids are grown, mom is aging and not gracefully anymore. I miss our Mobile adventures and wonderful herfs of days gone by.
