Hej Nicholas!

 NB> Here's hoping you finish off strong and come out with a clean 
 NB> bill of health.

Like the saying goes, strong like bull, smart like tractor.  :-)

 NB> In the trades you spend a lot of money on clothing this time of 
 NB> year so that you keep all of your body parts.

Here on the west coast, keeping dry is three quarters of the battle.  Half-decent clothing that keeps you dry and warm doesn't come cheap, to say the least.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
