Devin, You Da Man!!!!!!!!!!

I've been checking this thread every day practically for over a year (maybe since it started, my memory barely will reach back that far). This is the best news that I've had in I don't know when!

All my best,

Steve

Devin,
No, you didn't surprise me. I'm glad though that you started making a few temporary compromises toward the end as we discussed a couple of months ago. There'll be an opportunity to tidy things up to your satisfaction in the future.

I'm very proud of your accomplishments!

I'm also glad that you'll get some time to enjoy the truck, enjoy some time at home before the deployment and attend to some other details (like getting someone set up to do your lawn) now that it's running.

Also I'll offer some advice. As someone who's a bit older than most here (now 59), I want to suggest that you spend some of the remaining time with your truck and most of the time remaining with family and in dealing with other issues that need attention before you deploy.

All my best,

Steve
