Please join me in wishing him well, and all the best, with great success.

I would say you are doing that RMRider.

Heya Wojo, hmmm, anything worth seeing in 29 Palms - let me get back to you on that.

If ya fancy a beer or 2, gimme a shout (I'll pm you my number) and once I've got my head out of my butt, I'll pm you some decent info re 29 fella.
