Batch, I just noticed that your birthday was a couple of days ago. Hoping it was a good one. Just taking this opportunity to thank you for all you do.

Jerry, Many thanks... My second best birthday present came from my wife when she said "Go buy a new spinning reel" after looking at the reel I've taken to Alaska for the last 6 years... I've washed it daily with fresh water while fishing and kept it well oiled... but the elements and continued use have still taken their toll... so I ordered one of the best with a stainless steel body and internals. It will last a lot longer than me.... (I didn't tell her what it cost). My best birthday present came from my daughter on 22 August... Orrin Gustav... 7 lb 8 oz... Our 8th grandchild. My daughter has been taking the complete anti-inflammatory regimen with 10,000 IU/day vitamin D3 for five years, so Master Orrin, like his big sister, Fred (Winefred), was bathed in maternal vitamin D3 since conception... A flawless pregnancy, flawless delivery, a very happy healthy mother and a very healthy baby boy... It doesn't get any better... Take care and thanks again. V/R, Batch
