“Hey Jerbear! Hope you are doing great. Not the same Nomad from Portland. I saw him and Meerkat back in Nov. They are still hiking, but not on the board anymore. Seasons change, so to speak.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas! Say howdy to Mozark & Mather for me!”

“Will do freedom and merry christmas to you.;}”
