Woody
I started working at the center the next week. Carlos and the other counselors would include me whenever a gay client would come in. Carlos was right, they did feel more comfortable talking to someone who was like them. I was really enjoying my work and Carlos helped me complete all my applications for college and for the scholarship that Bennie had mentioned. They would be having their meeting in a week, so I would find out then if I was to be awarded a scholarship.
That Friday, I was at home and folding a load of laundry when I heard the front door open.
I was surprised when Harley yelled, “Woody, are you here?”
I came out of the laundry room and said, “yeah, I’m here, what are you doing home?”
He said, “I had a meeting today and I just had to come talk to you, Lyle told me I could have the afternoon off.”
I said, “a meeting? With who?”
He took my hand, “come on, let’s sit down.”
I said, “what’s going on Harley?”
He caught his breath, “the police department lawyer came in to talk to me this morning.”
I asked, “about what?”
He said, “well. Jack had his meeting with the review board this morning.”
I said, “ok, what happened?”
Harley said, "he didn’t tell me what happened to Jack, but he did want to offer a formal apology for what happened to you and for them not telling me the truth about my accident.”
I said, “that’s great, I guess…”
He shook his head, “no, that’s not all, they want to make it up to you, they have offered you a settlement for what happened to you.”
I asked, “a settlement? What kind of settlement?”
Harley said, “$100,000 dollars.”
I took a deep breath, “really?”
Harley nodded, “yep, I turned it down.”
I said, “what? Why?”
He grinned, “I figured we could do better.”
I asked, “are we going to sue them?”
He shook his head, “no, we don’t have to. I knew 100 grand was a low-ball offer, so I made a counteroffer, and they took it.”
I was trying to understand what was going on, I asked, “so what was your offer?”
Harley said, “the first thing I told them was, they had to pay your medical bills.”
I said, “I never even saw my medical bills.”
He said, “I know, I never showed them to you. I had Heather watch for them in my mail, we have been sending the hospital a small payment to keep them happy for the last couple of months.”
I asked, “why didn’t you tell me that?”
Harley said, “you didn’t need to worry about that, the police should be responsible for those bills anyway. I was going to go after them once I got back to work. Anyway, they agreed to that, plus I got them to pay for your college and you still get the 100 thousand dollars.”
I sat in a shocked silence for a minute, not sure what to say.
Harley said, “Woody, are you still with me?”
I said, “yeah, I’m here. Are you telling me that I have all my college paid for?”
He smiled, “yes, tuition, books and everything.”
I said, “and I get $100,000?”
Harley said, “yes. Your medical bills are paid, your college is going to be paid for, and you get a check.”
I said, “I don’t think I can take the money, Harley. I would be happy with just getting my college and medical bills paid for.”
Harley took my hand, “Woody, I talked to couple of my fellow lawyers, you could get a hell of a lot more if you sued, depending on how Jack’s review board went today. If they find him negligent, it will only help your case. If we had to hire a lawyer, he would probably take close to half of any settlement, and it would be at least a year for your case to be heard.”
I asked, “so you think I should take the money?”
He nodded, “yes, I do. It’s the least the police could do, I know I sound like a sleezy lawyer infomercial, but you deserve compensation.”
I said, “wow, I don’t know what to say.”
Harley said, “think about it, we can talk about it over the weekend. I told the police lawyer that we give him answer on Monday.”
Harley was giving me more details of the settlement and what it all meant. We were interrupted by a knock on the door.
I opened the door to find Jack on the other side. He asked, “do you mind if I come in for a minute?”
I said, “sure come on in.”
He said, "thank you. Hi Harley, I’m glad you are here too.”
Harley said, “hey Jack.”
Jack said, “I assume the department lawyer has talked to you.”
Harley nodded, “yes, he came by the office this morning.”
Jack sighed, “I hope they are treating you right. I just wanted to tell you both again, how sorry I am for the way I handled your case. I also wanted to tell you that I resigned from the police department this morning.”
Harley asked, “resigned?”
Jack nodded, “yes, before the board even had a chance to grill me, I told them that I screwed up and I told them everything that I did. I told them, and I want you to know, that I never intentionally meant to hurt either of you. I was so worried about getting Murphy, that I never considered the risk that I was taking. I had no right to hide facts from you Harley and I sure as hell should have never put Woody in danger. I know it doesn’t help, but I am truly sorry for everything. I was told that they were leaning toward firing me anyway.”
Harley asked, “so what are you going to do now, Jack?”
Jack shrugged, “I don’t know. When I was talking to my wife about it before I resigned, she said she could talk to her dad, he owns an insurance company. So, if you ever need insurance, I can probably get you a deal.”
I said, “thanks for stopping by Jack, I’m sorry you lost your job.”
He chuckled, “you have nothing to be sorry for Woody. You are unbelievable, you get the hell beat of you because of me and you say you’re sorry. Harley is right, you are a great person.”
Harley took my hand and said, “yes, he really is. Thanks for stopping by, and we wish you the best.”
After Jack left, I said, “I’m sorry I told Jack I was sorry, I guess it just seemed like the right thing to say.”
I chuckled, “don’t ever be sorry for being who you are. You genuinely care about people, no matter what they may have or may have not done to you. That is why you are going to make a great counselor.”
I gave Harley a hug and a kiss, his support means the world to me. Maybe, just maybe, I can get used to this whole having someone care about me thing.
Harley and I talked about the offer from the police department for a while. Harley called Heather and we decided to go out for a nice dinner to celebrate.
Todd said, “Harley is right, it’s a good offer. You could get more, but you would have to hire a big-name guy to take the case, and he would probably take more than half for his fees. He is also right that it would take at least a year.”
Heather said, “I’m so excited for you Woody, getting you college paid for is a big deal.”
I smiled, “yeah, to be honest, I would be happy with just that.”
She squeezed my hand, “take the money too, Woody, you deserve it.”
Harley said, “that’s what I told him.”
Harley and I met with the lawyer on Monday and accepted the offer. Harley handed him the hospital bills and I would need to forward all the bills for my college classes to the city, and they would pay for them. He handed me a check and Harley and I were on the way to the bank.
Harley asked, “we can put that check in a savings account for now, at least you will earn a little interest. We can do a little research and maybe invest some of the money to make you a little more.”
I asked, “how does that work?”
He said, "there are several ways to invest. You could buy stocks or bonds, I have a financial adviser that helped me set up my retirement fund. I can call and set up an appointment and get his advice.”
I laughed, “retirement fund? Oh, that’s right, someone your age would need to be thinking about retirement, wouldn’t he?”
Harley shook his head, “that’s right, get your shots in while we are in the car so I can’t hit you.”
We kidded back and forth for few more minutes, Then Harley asked, “is there anything you really want? I mean like a big-ticket item that you would buy if you won the lottery or something like that?”
I thought a minute, then said, “I’m not sure, I always thought if I got a real job, I would buy a car of my own.”
Harley smiled, “you don’t like driving my car?”
I said, “yeah, I do, but it’s your car. It would be nice to have something of my own.”
He said, “I get it Woody. You have the money to do that now, if you want to.”
I said, “yeah, I guess I do.”
Harley asked, “what kind of car do want?”
I shrugged, “don’t laugh, but I have always wanted a Jeep.”
He smiled, “if you want a Jeep, you should get a Jeep.”
A week later, Heather and Todd gave us a ride to the car dealership so Harley and I could pick up my new bright red Jeep. Well, it wasn’t new, it was a few years old, I thought the new models were way too expensive. It was in great condition, had low miles, and I loved it.
I started college a month later, and I loved my classes. I was putting in about 20 hours each week at the center, I had the first steady paycheck of my life. It wasn’t a big check each week, but I was earning it, and I was proud of myself. Harley was back in full swing at his job and was starting to go to court again. He was so happy and so was I.
Before I knew it, I had finished my first year of classes. I aced all my finals and had made the Dean’s List. Harley had finished a big case and to celebrate our achievements, we of course had a hot love-making session. After we finished, I had my head on his chest as he had his arms wrapped around me.
He asked, “are you glad that your classes are down for the semester?"
I said, “yeah, but I have signed up for a couple of summer classes, so I only have a week break from the books.”
He kissed my forehead, “I am so proud of you.”
I sighed, “thank you, I’m proud of you too.”
Harley chuckled, “proud of me? For what?”
I said, “when I walked into this house a year and a half ago, you were a broken man. You were bitter and pissed at the world. Now, you are back to work, you’re happy, at least I think you’re happy, and you are a pleasure to be around.”
He tightened his arms around me, “I am happy, and it’s all because of you.”
I ran my hands along his arms and said, “and I’m happy because of you. I never knew what it was like to have a real family or someone that truly cared for me. You gave that to me, and I will forever be grateful. I love you.”
Harley paused for a few minutes, just holding me. He finally said, “I love you too, and you’re welcome, but you’re still short.”
Harley
Over the next year, things got back to normal, well, a new normal. I was back into my groove at work, I just went to trial with my first case as lead since the accident. Heather told me that she finally let Todd move out of the guest room and back into their bedroom. I told her I appreciated her support, but she really should forgive him. Woody and I already had, I should say Woody forgave him and I decided life was too short to hold grudges. I guess Woody was rubbing off on me, I must admit it felt better to let things go, than to hold everything in and be pissed.
Phillip Murphy had been found guilty of sex trafficking, and other charges and was living out his days in a Federal Prison. Thomas Mills pleaded guilty to all the charges he had against him and was also serving his time. The last we heard, Jack Harrison only lasted a few months at his father-in-law’s insurance company and was now working as the head of security for one of the big tech companies in the city.
Woody was doing well in college and was loving his job at the center. He was so proud of his Jeep, I would sit out in the driveway every Saturday while he washed it. I’m surprised that he hasn’t polished the paint off of it. He was taking summer classes and before we even realized it, he was in his second year of college. I helped him invest his settlement money, he had only spent what it took to buy his Jeep. He tried to give me some money for letting him live with me, but I refused. I did, however, notice that I was only paying about every other utility bill, and I wasn’t sure when the last time I bought groceries was. I didn’t say anything to him, I knew it was important that he felt he was contributing. It only made me love him more.
As Woody was coming to the end of his second year of classes, he came home from his job at the center. He said, “Carlos told me today that they are having a big fund-raising banquet at the center next month. He told me that I should attend, would you like to go with me?”
I wrapped him in a hug, “if you want me to go, I would love to attend as your guest.”

He said, “thanks, Carlos also said that I should wear a suit.”
I said, “it sounds like we need to go see Charles again.”
Heather joined us again and helped pick out Woody’s first suit. Of course, I had to give my usual verbal jabs about the suit needing to be shortened. We settled on a dark grey suit and a medium purple shirt. The tie, according to Heather, had several shades of purple and grey in a plaid pattern and looked great with the shirt. I just imagined how handsome Woody looked in his new suit, I was sure he looked like a model in a fashion magazine. I went with Woody to pick the suit up after the alterations were made. Charles had Woody try the suit on again to make sure everything was right. When he was satisfied with the fit, Charles sent Woody to change back into his street clothes.
Charles elbowed me and said, “just so you know, he looks amazing in that suit. The colors are perfect for his skin tone.”
I smiled, “that’s exactly what I pictured in my mind.”
The night of the fund-raiser, I was standing behind Woody trying to help him tie his tie. He laughed, “maybe I should go a little early and have Carlos help me tie this thing.”
I said, “no, just give me the tie, I can tie when it’s on my neck.” Of course, what should have taken a minute, took us ten minutes, but we finally had Woody’s tie tied.
We arrived at the fund-raiser and Woody introduced me to all of his coworkers, I had met Carlos last year, but this was the first time I met his wife.
Woody took my hand, “come on, I want to introduce you to Bennie.”
I heard a man say, “Woody, I am so pleased to see you here tonight. After dinner, I want you to meet a few of our biggest donors.”
Woody said, “Hi Bennie, I would love to meet them. This is my boyfriend, Harley Winslow. Harley this is Bennie Harlow.”
Bennie took my hand, “it is so nice to finally meet you Harley, this is my husband, Adam Edwards.”
He was just as nice as Woody told me. After a brief conversation, Bennie said, “I need to keep mingling, it was nice to meet you Harley, and Woody, that is a very smart suit, it looks great on you.”
Woody surprised me when he said, “thank you, Harley picked it out for me.”
Bennie and Adam laughed, Bennie said, “you have great taste Harley.”
The rest of the evening went well, and I was so impressed with how Woody handled himself around all those rich donors. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the donations taken in tonight were increased because of Woody.
We would attend the fund-raiser again next year and Woody was even better at schmoozing all the wealthy attendees. The next two years flew by and soon it was time for Woody to graduate. He was at the top of his class and had made the Dean’s List every semester. Woody was so looking forward to working full-time at the center. Bennie and Carlos had followed through on their promise, a job was waiting as soon as Woody got his degree.
Heather and Todd brought the kids, and we all took our seats in the auditorium to watch Woody receive his diploma. I felt a tear run down my cheek when I heard “Cyrus James Woodson”. Brianna yelled, “yay, Uncle Woody.” Blake chimed, “way to go Uncle Woody.” Heather leaned in and whispered, “he waved at the kids.” I just smiled. After the ceremony, we all went to a celebratory dinner, Carlos and his Wife joined us.
After we said goodbye to everyone, Woody and I went home to celebrate in our own special way.
Woody got settled into his job and was still loving every minute of it. I will never get tired of listening to tell me about the kid he helped today, it truly was the highlight of my day. After one of these talks, we were sitting on the couch. I was picturing Woody’s eyes sparkling and he rambled on endlessly talking about his latest client. I could see that big smile as he finished talking.
He said, “I’m sure you’re tired of hearing me babble like this.”
I smiled, “not at all.”
He asked, “so what did you do today.”
I said, “I made a big decision.”
He said, “really, about what?”
I said, "about us.”
He paused, “and…”
I said, "Cyrus James Woodson, will you marry me?”
He jumped onto my lap, “God yes, I will marry you, Harlan Thomas Winslow.”
We quickly called Heather to give her the news, she of course, went into planning mode. I rolled my eyes and said, “we may just run off to Vegas, we’ll let you know.”
Woody or I didn’t care about the wedding at all, we just wanted to be together. We decided to just let Heather have her fun. We just went to our bedroom to have our own fun.
A couple of weeks later, I was scheduled for my annual checkup with my doctor. Woody went with me just as he had always done since he moved in with me.
As the doctor checked my eyes, he asked, “has there been any change with your vision Harley?”
I shook my head, “nope, should there be any change, Doc?”
He said, “well no, probably not.”
I chuckled, “why did you ask then?”
He said, “well, I don’t want to get your hopes up, but I talked to an eye specialist at a conference I just attended. I was telling him about your case, and he would like to examine you.”
Woody asked, “does he think he can help Harley get his sight back?”
Doc said, "like I said, don’t get your hopes up, but he has done a couple of successful operations on others with the same nerve damage as Harley has. He thinks Harley might be a good candidate for the procedure, from what I told him about his case.”
I said, “what do I have to do to make an appointment?”
Doc smiled and said, “He already has you scheduled, his next available appointment is in two weeks. Here is his card, give his office a call to confirm that time works for you.”
Woody said, “we’ll make it work.”
As soon as we got home, we called the doctor’s office to confirm the appointment. The two weeks couldn’t go fast enough, just the idea that I might get my sight back was overwhelming. We both tried to remain calm, the doctor had stressed that we shouldn’t get our hopes up.
Woody was at my side as we were introduced to Dr. Richard Schultz. The doctor examined me, taking pictures and scans of my eyes from every conceivable angle. We were holding hands as we waited in his office. The doctor finally came and sat at his desk across from us.
He said, “Harley, I believe you are a good candidate for a new procedure that could restore your vision, at least partially.”
Woody and I asked a lot of questions as he answered them all very professionally and plainly. He said, “I just want to make it clear that there is no guarantee that the operation will be successful. At this point I have a 60% success rate on patients similar to you.”
I said, “I completely understand Dr, Schultz, I think it’s worth it, a 60% chance is better than nothing.”
Before we left, we had surgery scheduled for a month later. I would have loved to have the procedure that day, but it had been almost five years since the accident, I could last another four weeks.
Four weeks later, I was sitting in the doctor’s office with bandages covering my eyes, just like five years ago. It had been two days since the operation, and it was time to remove the bandages. Heather was holding my left hand and Woody was holding my right when the doctor walked in.
He said, “well Harley, are you ready to find out if I know what I’m doing?”
I nodded, “as ready as I’ll ever be.”
He said, “ok, I’ll unwrap the gauze, but I want you to keep the pads covering your eyes in place until I’m ready.”
I took a deep breath and nodded. I felt him begin to unwrap the bandages that were wrapped around my head. The doctor had me hold the pads in place, one with each hand. He said, “ok, I am going to dim the lights, then I will remove the pads. Don’t worry if things are a little blurry, I will give you eye drops that should help clear that up. I’m turning down the lights now, ok let me hold these pads, then I…”
I said, “wait.”
He asked, “what’s the matter?”
I said, "Woody, will you please stand in front of me, I want you to be the first thing I see, if this worked.”
Dr. Schultz said, “ok, he’s in front of you, here we go Harley, keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them.”
I nodded as I felt the pads being removed from my eyes. Doc said, “ok Harley, slowly open your eyes.”
I did as I was told, it was still dark, I said, “it’s dark Doc.”
He said, “yes, I know, I’m going to slowly turn the lights up now.”
I started to see shadows as the light began to increase. I blinked my eyes to try and focus.
Doc asked, “well?”
I blinked hard one more time and said, “my God, you really are short.”
Woody sighed and shook his head, I added, “but you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.”
He rushed to me and wrapped me in a hug, Heather quickly joined us. The doctor asked, “so you can see Harley?”
I nodded, “yes, it is a little blurry, but I can see.”
Heather, Woody and I were now bawling like toddlers that didn’t get what they wanted for Christmas, we couldn’t stop hugging each other.
Finally, the doctor said, “sorry, but I need to break this up and have a look, just to make sure things look good.”
Once the doc finished checking out my eyes, my eyesight was clearing up by the minute. He explained that I would have to use the drops every couple of hours for a week. At the end of the that week, it would probably be the best my sight was going to get. He also told me I would probably need glasses, but I was just fine with that. We walked out to the waiting room, Todd and the kids were waiting there for us. I grabbed Brianna and gave her a hug, “my god you have gotten so big.”
She said, “I am 11 now Uncle Harley.”
I turned to Blake, “shit, look at how tall you are.”
He grinned, “yep, I’ve been taller than Uncle Woody for six months now.”
Which of course caused Woody to just shake his head and smile. God, that smile was beautiful.
We all went to have lunch, I couldn’t stop staring at Woody, even though he was a little blurry, he was better than anything I had pictured in my head over the last five years. Of course, Blake and I had fun ganging up on him, he couldn’t have cared less, he was just smiling at me as he stared into my eyes. I knew I was going to spend a lot of time staring into those eyes, they were so sexy and again, so much better than I had imagined.
As we ate, Heather asked Woody about his job. His eyes lit up even brighter as he filled her in on everything. I had always heard the excitement in his voice when he talked about his job, I was loving seeing the excitement on his face for the first time.
We all went back to the house after we ate, I was ready for Heather, Todd and the kids to leave. I mean it was great to be able to see them all again, but I really wanted some alone time with Woody. An hour later, I was finally shutting the door as they left.
I walked back to the living as Woody was clearing the iced tea glasses, we had all just used. He smiled at me as I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him.
I took the glasses from his hands and put them back on the table, I said, “we can clean these up later.”
He asked, “are you ok? I mean are your eyes tired?”
I said, "they feel good, I really want to use them to watch you walk to the bedroom.”
He smiled, “oh, I think I might like that too.”
He took my hand and turned to go down the hall. It was the first time I saw his ass, I had been so captivated by his gorgeous face, I hadn’t yet taken the time to check out his ass. By the way, it was to die for.
Once we were in the bedroom, Woody turned to me with a big grin, “so, now that we are here, what do you want to do?”
I smiled and walked to him, wrapped him in a hug and started to kiss him. He wrapped his arms around me as our tongues dueled it out. We broke our kiss and looked into each other’s eyes, Woody began to pull his shirt off. I stopped him and said, “please, let me do that.” He smiled as he dropped his arms to his side and nodded. I ran my hands down his chest until I came to the bottom of his shirt. I slowly pulled the shirt up, revealing his torso. He held his hands up as I finished pulling the shirt over his head. I dropped the shirt to the floor and slowly ran my hands up and down his chest and stomach again. I stopped on the mole that was on his right side, I had felt that mole so many times wondering what it looked like. Woody stood there as I continued my exploration, his eyes locked on me. I touched the small scar on his left cheek, he said, “that’s from the fight with Baker in the cabin.” I nodded slightly as I ran my finger over the bump in his nose. He chuckled, “Mills’s handywork.” I said, “I’m sorry.” He smiled, “don’t be, I’d do it all over again just to be with you.” I gave him a gentle kiss as I moved my hands down to unbutton his pants.
I pulled his zipper down and let his pants fall to the floor. I knelt in front of Woody and helped him step out of them. I ran my hands up and down his smooth legs, they had just the right amount of muscle to be in perfect proportion with the rest of his lean body. I took a deep breath and hooked my fingers in the waistband of his black boxer-briefs. I had already noticed the bulge, now I was ready to see what was causing it. I slowly revealed Woody’s half-hard love stick, the ebony pole was already about seven inches long and I guessed about six inches around. It hung down slightly over two egg sized nuts the looked like they were aching to be sucked. I finished removing his underwear, taking another moment to admire Woody’s now completely naked body. He was perfect. He smiled down at me, “are you disappointed?”
I shook my head, “oh, hell no.”
I reached up and cupped those nuts in one hand and stroked his cock to a full eight inches with the other hand. I saw a drop of precum appear in the center of that broad mushroom shaped head, I licked it clean. Woody moaned as his pole disappeared into my mouth. I’m sure it was just my imagination, but I was sure he tasted better now that I saw what I was putting in my mouth. Woody put his hands on my head as I bobbed up and down, savoring every stroke. I let go of his balls and moved my hands around to cup that sexy ass. Again, it may have been my imagination, but it felt firmer and fuller.
Woody groaned as he pulled me to my feet, he said, “you are wearing too many clothes.” He didn’t take nearly as long to undress me as I did him. We were soon on the bed with Woody lying on top of me, we kissed as his hard cock was humping my abs. He started to kiss his way down my chest, just as he had done countless times before. I watched as he looked up at me as he flicked his tongue across my erect nipples, a sexy smile as his tongue darted in and out. That smile turned into a mischievous grin when his tongue found my belly button, causing me to giggle. I shook my head, I was trying to act like I wished that he would never have found out that was my ticklish spot, but secretly I loved it. My eyes rolled back in my head when I watched my cock disappear into Woody’s talented mouth. Now that I could watch him suck my cock, it felt so much better, not that it didn’t feel good before. Once he had me closes to climax, Woody went to work on my cum-filled nuts. He pushed my legs apart and continued his trek down to my waiting pucker. I pulled my legs up to give him full access and his tongue was soon coating my hole in his saliva. When I couldn’t take it any longer, I pulled Woody up for another kiss and I reached down to aim his pole at my eager hole. I was in ecstasy now that I could look Woody in the eyes as he fucked me, it seemed to heighten the whole experience. I saw his eyes glass over as he pushed in as far as he could and started to fill my insides with his creamy white love juices. Woody collapsed on top of me as his spasms finally stopped. We shared another kiss then I asked, “do you feel better?”
He grinned, “yes, but now it’s time for you feel better.”
Woody rolled onto his stomach and pushed his ass in the air. God, that ass was a work of art, it just had to be the most perfect ass in the world.
I quickly moved behind him and took one cheek in each hand and spread them apart. After I paused to admire God’s handy work for just a minute, I leaned down and started to lick Woody’s rose bud. He moaned as he raised his hips a bit more, giving me more room to work. Once I had him wet, I moved up and rubbed my manhood along his warm crack. I slowly pushed in as I kissed and nibbled on the back of Woody’s neck. Our moans were now coming in perfect harmony as I pistoned in and out. Woody pushed back, fully impaling himself on my rod. His ass clamped down on my cock, sending me over the edge. The damn broke open and I flooded his guts with every drop of sperm I had in my body.
I rolled beside Woody as we both tried to catch our breath. Woody turned my face toward him, and we shared another passionate, post-orgasmic kiss.
Woody smiled at me and asked, “so, now that you have seen me, are you sure you still want to marry me?”
I nodded, “I want to marry you even more, now that I have seen you.”
The End.
Thank you all again for reading and leaving your comments, it really meant a lot to me that you all took the time to support me. My original plan was to have Harley accept and embrace his blindness. I decided to have him regain his sight after we lost Dean (Inglish93). Dean gave me a lot of insight into living with a vision impairment as I wrote this story. I feel like Dean has regained his sight now, so Harley should as well. Thank you all again for reading and RIP Dean.
