@Mundilfari & Andy - Thank you both.
@Rob - Thanks, I just checked out your trim - looks great. You grow a strong, dense, full beard. Great dark colour, too - looks fantastic.
@Derek - I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad I could be helpful. As to my overall health, I'm doing pretty well.
@LVG - Thank you for sharing your experience with your dad and his kidney issues. My condolences on your loss. You are completely correct that dialysis comes with its own set of challenges. I struggled myself on hemodialysis; it made me ill and gave me high blood pressure. It wasn't until I switched to peritoneal dialysis that I was able to achieve some sort of normalcy. I'm glad that you're getting more comfortable in your bearded skin too, and I'm looking forward to seeing your bigger beard.
@ Woody - Thank you, I can easily pay you the same compliment. Congratulations on your dense full beard - great shape and colour combination too.

- Fred
