Due to technical difficulties, I've been offline for quite some time,
but I'm back now. ;-)

Jeff Findley pounded on his keyboard to tell us

I have always been glad we weren't killed that night. I do not know
any particular reason, but I have always been glad.

Yes congrats as well.

*AND* This completes the 3rd required "test" flight for USAF ELV
qualification of Falcon 9 AFAIK.

I wish! ;-)

It really was technical difficulties. My newsreader wouldn't connect to
my newserver in December, even though the server was up. Between work,
family, and the US winter holidays, I just didn't have the time to
figure out what had gone wrong with my newsreader/newserver. In
January, I re-installed the newsreader and got everything working again.

Totally understand. Finite time / infinite to-do.

Welcome back!
