wow, looks like i got a little behind on my replies, lol
thank you, everybody, for all the kind words
it really means a lot to me and keeps me motivated
here lately, been getting a little burned out
i work my regular mon-fri, 50+hr job and spend most of my 
weekends making mods for family and friends
it doesnt help having my 49th birthday in a couple of weeks
and my present is going to be high blood pressure medicine
oh well, enough of that, i got some replies to attend to, lol
