lemme throw you a couple observations from my first month of being open:
1) i bought a 3 group LM GB/5 used, cause it was a good deal and in good condition. my initial plan was to buy a new 2-group linea and PID mod it, but the used GB/5 was cheape…

Alun, are these the hills you will be tramping over next month? The hills you are inviting us to join you on? I'm getting short of breath thinking of the 38C temp and 98% humidity. [If I was 30 years younger...]
I just noticed our neighbour over the…
