MrGando, Howdy and welcome;

Never a need to apologize for re-opening an old topic around here. Helps the "little gray cells" to work.
Nice to know what to bring when someone is getting ready for a fishin' trip.

Bob and Philip, Howdy;

When I was (much), younger I could lay in bed at night and ID each an every car by it's taillights as they drove by. Each was so distinctive. In the daylight they were ALL very distinctive as well. Nowadays, They all look alike as they are ALL alike. My ex-brother-in-law worked for GM assembling trunk (boot), locks. They went to ALL the Auto Manufacturers! Look at the dash knobs for the climate control system. ALL THE SAME.
The Big Dudes are buying ’stuff’ in quantities to cut costs. Costs they do NOT pass along to us. In the end we all end up buying what ‘THEY’ want us to have rather then what we want.
Ruard and Mark are smart, not only are they getting what they want, they are creating it themselves and in Mark’s case of himself. Costly, maybe. But what IS the cost of contentment?

Just sayin’
