Also I am really more of a microbiologist though of course the two specialties have a lot of cross over.

Thanks buddy. “Shoot from the hip” intellect. I like that. Although I note that shoot from the hip can be both a compliment and a criticism. I am going to take it as a compliment in one of the two senses below.

Directness: It praises someone for being a straight-shooter who is honest and doesn't play games or mince words.

Quick Thinking: It highlights an ability to react quickly and confidently in the moment without second-guessing.

However I also must plead guilty to occasionally fitting the critical sense of that term as described below.

Recklessness: It suggests the person acts or speaks without considering the consequences, facts, or the feelings of others.

I do always apologize sincerely when this happens but being human it does happen especially when one acts and talks as much as I do…LOL!

Sure man anytime. I could chat tomorrow if you want. I am basically free all day but would prefer no earlier than 10am my time.
