Hi Jim. I am with you on the rough ground, I think the island I live on must have been cut from the same rock. Enjoy the site, and help is but a posting away.

I was stationed is Scotland during 1966, while in the US Navy.

Guinness had an ad that year: 1066, Battle of Hastings; 1966, Bottle of Guinness.

Can't forget the date. Wish other history was as easy.

Florida and Maine have the same temps today. I was working on a John Deere 5103 harvesting home-grown potatoes this morning. Had to quit. Just too hot.

Regards and welcome to T-B-N.
