Hi Listers, I've missed being as active on this list (and others) as much as I'd like to have in 2014, but after many medical issues I finally created one that could have been my last. I foolishly at age 66 thought I'd move household items myself in a rental truck, which I'd done in the past (long ago) many times. So, my son and I began loading the truck, oh and also I'd never moved in winter before, so shortly after starting, I slipped on the metal deck of the enclosed truck and went down head first and slammed into frozen ground. I knew that I was in a serious way, and found out later that day that I'd broken my neck. Well, after a great surgery I'm recovering slowly. That day I promised my family (and myself) that I'll leave this to younger guys with good experience and in good shape. Think I'll just supervise now. :) Jim Page 4 No. of Schedule Road, Street, &c., and No. or Name of House Houses Inhabited Houses Uninhabited (U.) or Building (B.)

Jim, The Amish/Mennonite's of my home area have a saying "Ve get too soon old, and too late smart" . You are still learning that at 66. I am also at 83. We forget the head thinks we can do things our bodies no longer can handle. A painful learning experience. Glad to hear you are recovering well. Keep up the good work. George M.
