1 step, fantastic on the triple digits man!! Awesome! Sorry about the dad thing. I can certainly relate on that subject. Realize what is not in your control, and let it go. Your peace of mind is worth it.
Max and dry, great to hear from you! Max, post here often, we are good fellow travelers on this journey.
Pink, great choice on the kayak! Is being on the water good for the soul or what? God, or a life spirit if you prefer, lives in those places where a solo kayak journey can take you.
Bedfordshire my comrades, goodnight.
Love.
