Thanks for all the kind welcomes my friends. :)
My Solar activity slowed practically to a stop from early last fall when strange weather patterns clouded out my normally clear Wyoming skies.
I actually had been wondering where a lot of you had been hanging out.
Still can't believe I missed this one.
