[MD] Best Wishes to All of My Old Friends

[Adrie Kintziger]

Hi Matt , and Krimel,and probably more of the usual suspects.. ,in the
run-up to my retirement and my daughter buying a house that i had to do up
myself (3 yrs work),
i halted my postings to the list.After some time it went silent.Probably i
was peeled out of the onion. Since then, i never checked anymore, nor did i
hear anything.
So you are the first ,Matt.
I still read many books.I fish extensively.Still riding my bicycle daily,
do about 12000 miles a year.I have the bulk of time now.
But its difficult to ride my normal tracks under lockdown and with the
Dutch borders closed up-normally i always ride in the Netherlands, but have
to stay in Belgium nowadays.
We cannot fish in the canal under the lockdown,and they are patrolling the
little forest we have there , so the only thing we can do for now is
cleaning , pruning the trees and
just sit over there , on some distance from each other. Its our personal
tranquility base , so we have to guard it.

I do not know where you live Matt, and Krimel,i hope its a location that
allows you to weather this viral storms ...
Missed you all, Krimel included.
Adrie
