Geez, Brakie! That sounds like excellent advice, especially the bit about not getting "your cabin in front of your face" ... that part made my face widen to a big grin! That's solid, old school, been there, made that mistake, not goin' there again advice!
Thanks ... i'll be rememberin' that and smiling for the rest of the day!
