Ed-
That's not love you feel---it's the heat!! [:D]

And while you're roasting in Texas (and Mookie cooks in Nebraska), here in Wisconsin it's been so relatively cool that I've only been in the pool about two dozen times this year so far, although today & tomorrow we should be in the low 90's with dew points in the 70's; up here that temperature's a big deal !

They probably call it the gee-it-won't-leave-me-alone monitor, OR

They probably have many colorful adjectives to describe the monitors, and none that should be repeated in this forum.[8D]

Jen, you have no idea how close you are to RR engineers. I used to sign off their little nit-picky write-ups in the same fashion. It really used to rattle their cages

Jen, this isn't as far off topic as you may think...I've seen a similar list of problems with modifications made to put it in a railroad environment (you could cover half of them by changing "cockpit" to "cab"). Hard to tell what was original.

It had another good one:

Problem: Excessive vibration at speeds over 65 m.p.h.
Fix: Could not reproduce problem in shop.
