Whoelly Chit !
Umm...ditto....
I'll ' keep tabzzzz", but I have a farm to run.
I've accomplished more in 2 months than I have in the 12 months previous..
I'll hopefuly be able to help on KphenForumzzz, if needed, but I'm tired of the BS ..(FFW, political, uzual)

I missed whOrlando due to family schtuff ( much more important)
Hopefully, they'll get me fixed up this week.

Off to bed and up at three.

I'll be in touch.\
Quieter, calmer, and lurking......

Happy you wrote that and confirms my own thoughts about the hobby and where it has taken me from my backyard to Niigata, Japan. I am not sure you can call that a full circle. But nevertheless I am home in my backyard where I started. Joe
