By the way, the IR on the LN 8C was a $30 upgrade and when they ran out, cocobolo became a $50 upgrade. And, of course, the corrugation raised the price from LN as well. I don't see the "C" option offered as routine on the LN site.

Just to update a bit, a bit over a year ago I had a stroke- on Father's Day before last. I could not speak clearly and lost track of "myself"- I was with my family so they got me to a good ER within minutes of my arrival for the celebration. I also could not grip items in my hands . The "lost in the ozone" time was the scariest part. So far the only permanent damage is a "hitch" in my left leg which when combined with my absence of lumbar space and right leg nerve damage makes me quite unsteady when moving. On top of that, I was diagnosed locally with sleep apnea-90% central brain- but wrong device provided. Went to Mayo in MN where the diagnosis was confirmed and in addition, a REM sleep disorder that is scary stuff when combined with the apnea. Though I had used the original device faithfully and Medicare considered it paid for, after Mayo Rx'd a different device, Medicare refuses to pay for a replacement. There is no satisfactory treatment for the REM problem so both go untreated.

Then I have reached to point where both shoulders are "frozen" and surgery is required. On my dominant left arm, the tendon entrapment goes down to just above my wrist and both shoulders and the left elbow sound like Rice Krispies just doused with milk. I can barely pick up any # 8 plane, let alone use one. However, it is the mentally "going away" that is my greatest risk in day or night, assuming I wake up from the nights. Just picture my relationship with routers-even in a table.

So, that is the story. I have missed all of you greatly and I appreciate the welcome words of friendship. Now, I fear finding out what dear friends here have been lost to us.
