w00t!
So you finally got tired of all the PMs, eh? Great pics Phil! And as I read, I could detect that hint of old codger's voice in the words on the page.
I'm glad you're finally posting - with BlueNozer back, there's no one local to live vicariously through - so be prepared for me to play virtual fender bunny on your journey.
Waiting' (not) so patiently for more...
PS:
Mrs Stain just read your first post and said, "Well, he's been gone a month, it's about frickin' time!". Aren't you glad she's not a member of ADV too?
