    Hello Tunnel. Neither did I. Great boards. I have learned a few very important things on these forum. Somewhere along the route, you give a bit and learn a lot.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".
  • 1.51 O's today when I needed the power most.
