    Ozzy, Don't let that scare you. All that mess IS just power wiring. Notice nothing connected to the AIU. But, I'm a switch/light freak. I like having lots of switches and lights scattered around. So it is much more complicated than it needs to be. Plus I wanted the ability to...

    Good Morning ! John - Sorry to hear about the dog, that would be tough. I think that is the biggest disadvantage of having a pet. Jeffrey - If that spray can was not in the background, I would think that SF 2099 was 1:1. Mabelair - :welcome1: Dennis - That LifeLock sounds pretty good...
