And that will be twice a day! I'm only 83 so lots of kick ass time yet! :-) Give him my best wishes..... yes it probably hurts like hell for him right now. But it will heal and he'll be fine and much better than he was before. Actually tell him about Tina and having both knees re-placed at the same time! And how fit and able she was after! However she's just a young thing! ;-) cheers, ted cheers, Dr. ted :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Gregory" <s_gregory1 at me.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2012 6:35 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] PESO: Blast away > Ted great advice and inspiration in your words and deeds.
