Hi Andrew,

Welcome back! Given you were my original chief go-to-guy in the early days it is nice to see your “face” again. I recently returned myself. Perhaps it’s fortuitous you are the 727 CP as I have been trying to learn (or should I say, fighting my way) to get my head and hands wrapped around this beast.

Take care

Calvin Waterbury
