Hi Shawn
Welcome back. I guess I'm one of those "new" faces around here, but my post count is good for the time I've been here so far .

Here's to enjoying the skies again Shawn.

Kind regards,
Suzy.

G'day Shawn

Thought you left the planet or something.
I was about to drive up and steal that fantastic Dome Obs you left behind

Take care mate.

Edit: And while I'm here Shawn, (I have to say this) what happened a few years ago..Well hopefully it's dead & buried. It is my end in any case. I was a bit fiesty back then..

Feel more than free to drop back in to 'you know where'.
