Wow that is great news Bart! We've heard so much bad lately its nice to see someone get a break. I know what you are going through with the knee. I had major reconstructive surgery on mine back in 85'. Worse part was gettin into and out of bed and sleeping. I was black and blue from my crotch to to the heel on my foot. Ankle was the same size as the thigh because of swelling. Went hunting Mule deer in Baggs Wyoming two weeks later. Feels fine now, but still can't fully lock my knee.
