Too cold in the workshop to machine anything PJ although Matt Colan and Dave Fitz have been working on me. D>K Have got to do some bits for Matt before spending some more of the kids inheritance on a trip to the UK Aug/September. Can you stop sending that cold weather north!

All the best

On the other hand, we could sure use some of that global warming that people keep talking about.

You stop whining, too. I left the NATs where is it was 95 every day, and went to visit my parents - where it was 104 (40C in French) every day. With higher humidity, too.

Scratching around the workshop to find the alloy for you Matt! Just warming up a bit here now as PJ is hopefully keeping the cold air "down in Mexico"! We're 600 miles north but it still gives us below freezing in the mornings at times.
