Here's day one from our user friendly Lennox...A funny incident unfilmed, i now know another use for the longest number one batten besides defining part of our airfoils, their good for guiding, gently, very inquisitive brown snakes away...twice!...Just had had our driest January on record, still no rain...crazy...
