I just wanted to add my thanks for the pictures. It is pretty nice to be able to put faces with handles.

Ditto's to what the rest have said Don. Great thread, lots of faces to add to the names, along with a few I just haven't seen in too long. It looks like it was a fantastic show.

Got to agree about that. And I'm not having any trouble visualizing it pondside, either.

Wonder if Frank knows how to install one?
