Hello Steve,

Sorry I haven't emailed you but I just got out of the hospital.

In digging out the room to get to my chest and replacing everything back there
was a slight accident that broke my tibula (shin bone), and broke my ankle in 3
"pieces". I required a small amount of surgery to add 3 screws and 3 pins to my
growing list of foreign objects keeping my body together. I would have been home
yesterday, but I had a problem with swelling and had to get a new cast and such.

Before I have to be carried out of the house to the hospital (not an easy task
carrying a 240lbs man out of the house when he is hitting you because you banged
his leg :)) I did manage to look at the computers and see what shape they were
in. They are:

Fidelity Chess Challenger 10
Absolutely mint condition. All pieces are there, manual, and cover. Box is
perfect.

Novag Constellation Expert
Perfect condition like the Fidelity machine, all pieces/manual/cover, the box is
terrific but has a slight crease where it shows it has been opened before.

The trunk itself it being brought to be later today or tomorrow, as I just KNOW
you are going to have more questions :)

I just hope the next questions don't require so much blood, sweat, and tears...

(tears came from my son who accidentally caused the whole mishap by standing
behind me when I was trying to backup carrying something...)
