Really, I feel quite ill, that's sick, a grown man who swears that he'll never touch a soldering iron stooping that low.....

Congratulations Mr Ponders nice mount, there could well be more dry joints, you had better be safe send it down to me for a professional repair.

Sheez, hubby doesn't show me that much affection even .
And I'm wondering with all the rain and floods up there, did that thing get airlifted to you or something .
Oh, and by the way, Ron isn't jealous, he's strictly visual, aren't you Ron?! Still with us Ron...? Stay focused I say Ron!
Congratulations and enjoy Paul
