Actually I first heard of it...
I hear YOU @monty83 :eek:. This has also been playing out in my mind :oops:. Sheesh do NOT even speak to me before I have inhaled 1 (Sometimes the mandatory 2) cups of hot black liquid gold aka Cafe' before my day can truly begin .... But i am prepared to go with the flow & adapt young...
