Jay i cant get past the name change, might take some time brother to become used to it.
well im glad you busted out of the originality box & modified your kids name to be destinctly different...lol Y could very well be the answer to that question indeed.

Glad to see the expansion bud, everything is looking good. I suggest really putting time into the sump & fuge with the merge. Good to see you by the way, have to catch up for a bit of banter in the future bud.
