Thanks for checking in Eric. I’m still getting most of the items that are posted to the list. I don’t seem to have the problems many folks are reporting. 

Me and my ‘87 Westy are still out camping often here in Victoria on beautiful Vancouver Island in B.C.  we did a major trip out to northern Saskatchewan last year but we’ll be sticking closer to home this summer.
