Excellent work Bruce.

Looks like you are building some inventory for your annual pre-Christmas sale!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I can gauge how much I enjoy a build by how much I run it afterwords. ..this little guy has been run most every night for about 3hrs with 1 fill in between. I'm also testing the heater 😉👍
