Great news, Mr. Fish! I am now actively forcing my dry mouth at night. I make everything shut down so the mucus plugs don't choke me to death and it's working. I retired Mr. Goosucker 5 weeks and 3 days ago. He's mad but I'm glad.

If you are interested in trying a chin strip holler and I can send one to you. I retired it, too. I'm MOCHINE-FREE!

Thank you for ROCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK! It was very inspiring watching you SURVIVE and THRIVE!

Maybe I can grab a cup of Joe with you when I head up there in 2 weeks. I should be around your neck of the woods Sunday and Monday, August 3rd and 4th. Heck, maybe some Q made by YOU...pulled pork style. I can bring the jalape�os!

I will be at BB's Lawnside BBQ Sunday night if you and your family would like to come.

Keep it up! Like a boss, my friend.
