Yup ! Clocked at 30 per. It’s why I love my T. Like a high lope on a good horse.

Sorry to disappoint, Charlie ! :oops:

And thank you, Frank, for providing a more appropriate response ! :lol:

I had thought a period cartoon might be of interest, I’ve posted a couple of others previously, with zero response, you’d think I’d learn. :roll: I won’t do that again ! :lol:
