Reader4Life (Remember to Forget) I have found that we usually have to do most coding for error/user workaround that occurs 1% of the time.

Reader4Life (Remember to Forget) I am doing good. The older I get, I realize I don't like change. The one thing that always occurs.

Wishing you the good health and food. Are you doing the boat thing or RV thing?

The RV thing. We sold the boat.

I am the opposite when it comes to change. I need it. Thrive on it.
Currently sheltering in place in California at an RV Park. 2 months in any one place and I get antsy.

Happy to hear you are good.
