Ed or Pipeliner, whomever reads this first .. please let Russ know that we are glad he is returned home and that had it been his wish [we know it was not] we'd of had some sort of double miscreant welcoming comittee waiting in the driveway, in at least the figurative sense. As it is, I'd say get the hospice folks to help you get him on one those tractors and drive it out in the field and help him shoot something. And why not!? At least fire one of those tractors up for him, if there is one around.

.. And for Russ, "A heart felt toast to you, my friend, for the person you are and the fun that we've had over these past few years because of just that! Glad you're home."
