If I could just have a wee bit of Michelle and Franks vocabulary I could write you a real zinger of a comment Laura. I remember this one, we almost knocked each other out of the way to get it, kidding. You got it first. And well done indeed is the final results. (Johnson Canyon Right?)We are melting down here. I want to go back. #8803904
