        Yesssss!!! I made it by the end of the day yesterday, but wasn't able to post. What fun to wine and dine on top of "Killme"!!!
        Congrats to you Jimmie on not letting Killme live up to that name... twice! Great feeling, isn't it?

        Ok... I'm pausing for a couple of weeks. Will be back around the 11th April. Not quite sure what to climb then... will put thinking cap on.

        Keep up the flights while I'm away pals!
