Good to hear you again Mac. You are essentially correct
The PTO states that the patent application above
(which is 11/655,899) has been examined and is allowed for issuance as
a patent.
Prosecution on the merits is closed(underlined)
Of course, they can withdraw this notification anytime for various

fees as they are a cash cow.!
