I don't know!  I'm gonna live life on the edge and let 'er rip baby!  The way I
see it the old addage, 'you only live once' has quite a stronger meaning with
wasserboxers.  Anything and everything seems to have some kind of effect on
these things, so what the hey!

If I have ANY problems...you all will be the first to know.......but seeing
that temp gauge just a little lower at operating temp is enough to make me
grin.
