Dave....you've been an inspiration and mental motivator/mentor here, to me, at RTH for over 3yrs........you've gotten me off my ass and sparked long forgotten interests, which awoken that "research" aptitude I had prior to my retirement.......Thank You....!.....kinda like a few professors I enjoyed while I was working on my thesis back in 2012.......I'm forever grateful for that stimulation, yours and theirs.....everyday life, in general, becomes complacent and mundane.....I can escape, if only for a moment, with the 1dave posts, to reflect on passions lost in my life's conundrum's.........Happy belated Birthday....!
To add......:
I've grown, over the last +4yrs, the time my son has lived in Utah, to appreciate and look forward to every visit, the culture, people, natural resources, weather,
outdoorsmanship, history and even most of the politics.....I realize much of the States politics, even today, are faith based.......but being raised Roman Catholic as an alter boy back in the 60's (since have moved on), and still to this day, maintain a few long term friendships with serious practicing Mormon's, much like my son has over the years......we get it.....!.......If, what remaining family we care for here in So Cal, were able to relocate......we'd do it in a heart beat......!

1dave, A bit late but best wishes on your birthday. Keep on keepin' on! Your research and RTH presentations are high points of my involvement here. Kudos to you with hopes of many geological delights to come.

1dave Happy Birthday, a bit late but in Geologic time not so much. You are truly the Sensei of this Forum and your efforts to educate are most appreciated.
