IM PRAYING FOR WARMER WEATHER...SURE COULD USE SOME OF LOWER 48"S

And how did you even change the font in the 1st place? I have seen it before and folks have changed the color, and made bold and underline inserts.

Yes I am computer challenged and a novice FTE navigator.

I know all about working outside. I have a large two car garage that's full, so I STILL have to work outside. Luckily this year, we had a much warmer winter and it wasn't so bad.
