Things are looking up. I won't get into details but the new appliance is starting to work. I may still have a day or two in the big house though.

Just wanted y'all to know the ban on visitors is lifted. There never really was one it's just after a big surgery like that having a bunch of people in the room is work. Now I am thoroughly bored and fighting the tendency to become nocturnal. So feel free to come by for a quick visit if you like. That's all for now.
