In early November while assisting my neighbor with roof repairs, I took an unplanned short cut to the ground!  $$-0 $$-0   I continue to experience lingering problems from the injuries sustained which call into question my ability to fulfill my duties as GH/RH, therefore I must stepdown at this time.
   
Will try to keep my fingers in the pot, but can't promise anything at this time.  I will remain BOG for Cloverdale.

Dave, how about you take a little hiatus instead, while you heal?

Did that myself.

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

I pray a continued and complete recovery from your mishap and echo a sincere gratitude for the impact you've had over the years instilling the Rifleman and instructor traditions in so many of us.

I do hope that you can stay involved guiding and mentoring during this season of mending. Please, let us know as you have need and thank you for your investment of service and friendship.

So, basically what you're saying is now you can sport an awesome MOHAWK! -:) and everyone will say, "Well, he hit his head when he fell off a roof. That haircut makes sense."

Congrats! I have to make up a completely different story for mine.

Hope you get well soon and hopefully I'll see you when I stop by Cloverdale in the spring.

Thanks all!

Nickel  -  "a little hiatus"   O0  Only time will tell on that one.

Techres - Girls are taking good care of me.  Wife has "informed" me that I do not work on roofs!!! Daughters seconded that - don't think I can over rule the 4 women in my life.
Slim  -  I'm not sure about that MOHAWK.      ???     The only damage that shows are some fading scars from my face plant on the roof on my way down.  Does that qualify as good MOHAWK story?   %)

What I know for sure ........ my almost 66 year old body didn't like that sudden stop at ground level  :sos:

Get well soon and stay off those roofs. We will hopefully see you back soon.

So glad to hear that you had a better outcome than Humpty Dumpty. But we all know that Riflemen are way better than King's men, anyway. Take care of yourself, and we eagerly await your return.
