Jack, I read about your timer and reset it. They should shut down in the year 2036... by then, I think they will have paid for themselves!
Actually, they have already paid for themselves and all this mud slinging is for the birds. I am very happy with my units!
I can't get to the gathering... as much as I wanted to, it just wasn't in the cards. No biggie, there's always next year.
Have fun!
