My pleasure, Bill.

One thing I meant to mention last night is that those of you who can stream the internet into your TV will find that any YouTube video look a lot sharper on a TV than on a computer screen. Maybe one of the tech experts can explain why.

It seems like you are ahead of us with the weather. Mostly cloudy and 23° here on the GC.

Regards,

Richard
