Thanks for the good thoughts! Physically, I am doing fine; the loss of several friends over the past few years convinced me it was time to scale way back in the number of guns in my collection. I consigned about 250, kept about 50 including my projects.

The Zischang had been promised to Michael, so I let it go to a close mutual friend, much younger than either of us. I think that would have been its next successive home had Michael not left us far too soon!
