Thanks guys so much for the positive thoughts & encouragement. Steel., I had "The Scope" just a bit before the PSA test & it came out all OK. Painless, except I had a good looking nurse back there to assist the doc- I expained to her it wasn't my best side. Made no difference. My top end looks almost as bad (jk- I think). Keep hammerin' them with the rags. And yes, I will be back out on the river for a long while to come! - Steve
