Buy a wig. It works for Pat. :whistle: Yeah, sure. That's why we call it the "stars & hoops" :doh:

Good news all that! I decided against suggesting not to take the bike for going to get that guitar on that other thread, but I guess here would be OK ;) Also, just realised that all this...

Circling back: Heritage Sweet 16 incoming
