Hey Dennis

        Not good to hear that You were sick but Very Good to hear that You have recovered ~

Hope for Your sake that it was CV-19 as You will now have better chance of immunity when

        As for Alexs Idle Issue > Any guess on what it might be, I have 2 Friends whose Vans

                                                                ORR ~ DeanB
