Really?? Sears?? Penney's???!!? I can't imagine either of those

It's not quite as custom as you'd get if a tailor made it from
scratch, but using the range of options available it's close. :-)

How is the old man anyway? Any
closer to a Harley?

He's doing much better these days. The amputation went well, the
prosthetic fittings (both myoelectric and cable-driven) also went well
and he's using them hard enough to break stuff on them all the time.
G He's got a weightlifting attachment now and can do pullups with
one of the "hooks". He's doing pushups now too and his chemo is all
done so he looks human again. He's also back to running. He's still
in the Army and nobody is talking about boarding him out so far.
The bike hasn't happened yet, but another biggie did - we bought a
house. :-)
All in all, life is pretty good. :-)
How's things with you?

Take care,
Carmen

Glad to hear that Uncle Sugar didn't summarily muster him out over a piddly
thing like a missing hand. Bought a house? That's cool. Seeing's how I'm a
Realtor I'm always happy when someone buys a house. Look me up if a PCS to
Fort Lewis is in your future. As for me, I'm about to end a 22 year run of
blissful singularity by marrying my best friend, Aileen, on Valentine's Day.
