I think it was John Lennon that said something like, "sometimes when you make plans, life happens". Boy it sure does! I had to deal with some medical issues with one of my children but he's back on track and I'm looking forward to getting back out there, and in here. I just bought a Whites V3i which I hope to test/compare in a few months, or as soon as the ground thaws. This forum still rocks with some of the best reading, and overall great posts/comments. Great to see it so active!
