It is good to have you back @mronegative
You were here from the beginning, you carried this thread for long stretches, hell you renamed it when we got ripped from S&T. Glad to have you back for a while.
Those that don't know.....last Monday my wife called me with the worst call imaginable......her parents spent the night with us Sunday night, her and I went to work Monday morning while they slept, a few hours later they headed home and were struck head on by a "potential"* drunk driver just a few miles from our house. Just before noon. Zero skidmarks on our side, they never saw it coming, and in that instant, they were gone. As if that wasn't enough, the car went up in flames, removing our chance at seeing them at rest one final time. Today we had their service and I mean our family PACKED that funeral home. People we hadn't seen in 2-3 decades rolled up for this. My wife and daughter will never be the same......
* I say potential because the charges are still pending until the driver is released from the hospital, but we've been assured, it's coming. Sadly, she had a 4 year old relative in the car with her, that baby passed as well. All bad man. All bad.
I'll never forget my wife's voice in that phone call. Never....
jesus christ, my condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.
