Hi Captain2. Nice to see you too.
I'm not on the site much now.....combination of finding the time and the site not co-operating with my tablet.....though I have to say that it is better now than it was a few months ago.

[Captain2]

Hope you find the time and speed to join in with us a bit more in the future.
(PS still miss the MOFC on a Saturday)

Thanks, Captain2.
A blast from the past the MOFC. That was fun.
