Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson as always. I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson.

As we do the Saturday edition of the yard, we are not doing the Friday edition, had some family issues I had to address.

I know you guys understand all that. But I wanted to give, you know, I guess a bit of an explanation.

I know many of you will message me and say, hey, Steve, no need to. You've got to take care of family. And that's true. And I'm a guy that is constantly on the road and constantly involved in things. I don't always get to go home very often. You know, my home is, I live in Stargville. And this is where I'll be, I guess, until I get to a point where I can't take care of myself.

because with all the things going on with the COVID virus, the last thing you want to do is have a, you know, sick relative and you kind of unknowingly,

you know, pass or transmit, you know, the COVID virus onto them. So we just kind of kept our

distance for the better part of a year. And during that stretch, I guess maybe in the early stages of 2021, it all kind of runs together after a while.

My mom's twin passed away.

And it was very difficult, as you could imagine.

Any of us losing a sibling, it's a big deal.

And then it's a twin.

I mean, you know, there has not been a day in my mom's

existence where she didn't have her twin and so that happened and then shortly thereafter
