    You are surely welcome, my friend. Glad we were able to get the saw at the last minute, there in Wayland. We were blessed this year and want to give back when we can. We enjoyed the prizes we won too. Thanks to all who donated prizes. FHC family is the BEST...:thumbs::thumbs::salute::salute::yes::yes::handshake::handshake::handshake::handshake::handshake:

    Possibly?
    I would have checked it out a little more, but I had just walked clear around the lake, and was distracted with posting those pics of the fire trucks and the burnt field :whistle: :D
