I have many holes in my LUG e-mails in the last week or so, so I fear your post never made it to my in-basket, as others are missing as well. Another problem is you broke the link when you just posted your Thank you message so I could not back track to your original post. I'm sure your photos are very good. I just wish I could see them.
