Welcome back. How's the weather there? I'm planning to drive the coastal highway from the bay area to San Luis Obispo later this week. It'll be a nice change from snow and freezing weather.

Thanks pst and ripvw

Started raining today it is supposed to rain for eight days straight might put a little damper on your trip here pst. Been sick for the last 8 or 9 months started feeling poor around April of last year lost a lot of weight due to the illness dropped about 90lbs. went from around 300 lbs. down to around 210 lbs. in about five months. Fooled around about going to the Dr. until August,thought I had Cancer or something with the unexplained weight loss and all. It turned out to be Hyperthyroidism was causing the problem. Starting to feel better though now, I thought the OSA would go away with the weight loss but it didn't. Still on cpap at my bilevel of 20cm's over 16cm's

'Bout time you showed up around here!!!
Were you getting my brain waves? I was thinking about you the other day......(REALLY). (play Twilight Zone music)

Anyway, it's good to see you post again, Dale.

Glad to hear of the weight loss......as long as your health is OK now.
