Hi Welcome to the group

[travaler]

thanks guys for all goodness.

I just wish the rain and cloudy nights would go away. been this way for the last few weeks. I've had one night so far and that was to set up to check things out to make sure my new toy was working straight out of the box. it still has that new smell!

We get about 4 to 6 weeks a year in the uk, from my newbie experience.
