Finally back among the pirates and glad to see most everybody is still hangin around.
Had a bad cough with congestion in my chest back in December, turned out it was congestive heart failure. EF at 10 to 15 with a bad valve. Meds and stent seem to be working as the EF is back up above 50 and cardiologist is pleased with progress no need for valve replacement.
Been getting in a little swing time but managed to flood my Equinox 800 last week. Of course that model is out of production, so no repair or replacement as it was out of warranty as well. Minelab did offer some discounts on the 900 and 700 but I decided if we're gonna go new let's go with the Manticore.
Weather has turned to S--t as the tropical stuff is coming through now, so maybe next week will be better for the maiden voyage of the manticore. We're going to the beach next week for a few days.
Too long of a post so i'll go for now.
