gjdale Posted May 26, 2013 #755 Posted May 26, 2013 Great work Augie.

augie Posted May 27, 2013 Author #759 Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks to everyone for looking in and for the great shot in the arm. This forum is just the greatest place for instruction and encouragement.......because of the people on it. Still a long way to go...and a lot more things to work around. But somewhere along the line the time and effort to show progress has been replaced by the satisfaction of getting it (almost) right. Be back once we get more yards aloft.
