Hello, @TBlack and friends.
I wanted to offer my salutations and thank you for the pleasure I've derived from reading this build-log. Since the beginning of the year, I've been able to call myself a fan of Mr O'Brian's writing, and have enjoyed seeing others such as yourself (et al.) channelling this mutual esteem and enthusiasm into other passions. I look forward to seeing any future progress of your exploits no earlier than you find convenient.
Kind regards, and stay safe,
Figulus.
P.S. I hope you've found your back medication has improved things, and that the sciatica isn't slowing you down.
I wish you all the best in that regard and all others.
