? Hi Jim et al,
No work for me! ?I’m retired since 2018, and enjoying life. Hope you and yours are doing well!
I’m getting over a shoulder replacement, but plan to get back into Dave’s Saturday lunch group, and will visit Dave’s during FD.?

Eric W4MC and I will be in our usual flea market spots (7214-17), on the north side of the oval infield (left side as you come in from the indoor exhibits), first row facing the bleachers.? If you make the scene, feel free to stop by and sit for a spell, get out of the sun/rain, drop off boat anchors for safe keeping, or have a nice cold beverage (Eric is doing his semi-famous home brew thing).
