Another great one Lenn!

Hey, if you're gonna post pictures and posts -- like we all want you to do -- the informal rules say you gotta "un-blur" your avatar.

Glad to see you still building things and posting here. :wink:

Really liking the riverboat whistle, Lenn. I'd love to hear it in the distance on a foggy morning. They're all good, though. 8)
