I usually do not air my laundry in public, but I'll make an exception here.
I was not on the Arizona ride due to an urgent health issue, which involved a visit to the local E.R., early on the morning of Saturday the 18th.
I'll take a jab when I deserve it, and I frequently do. I just found that bit of repartee required a retort.
Sorry for the thread-jack.
No problem Brother, sorry that you missed the ride and I hope that all is well with you
