Yonky:

Good Day to you. Now....as to getting "lucky" those many years ago, me thinks it was superior firepower, the Pennsylvania Rifle against the British Musket, that helped defeat Cornwallis, Burgoyne, Gage, Howe, etc. Then there was the will to show old K George that we didn't really need him. And, yes there was a bit of luck involved, at times.

So, yes, I have the day off. Everyday is Saturday now, retired you know.

I plan to spend it relaxing. I might even do a bit of clunking, turning some of that good British aluminum coil material into gas checks with my Freechex III. Then there are the requisite bottles of cold Sam Adam's beer to be consumed. (He was one of those "lucky" colonists who assisted in our luck). You should head to the pub and lift one to our luck also, plus a nice ale is good for what ails one, agree?

Anyway, thank you for the good wishes and hope all goes well in the Mother country. tchepone
