@bill93 Or spell it Nunya Business which is what I typically do.

Misusing email for unsolicited purposes should be a felony with hefty fines and jail sentences. Yep. I got a gift certificate for a massage sever...

L(ord) dork of stones. Definitely talking about a surveyor.

I do a 1 minute shot, rotate rod 180 and reinitialize the satellites, another 1 minute shot and average. I haven't been tracking this super hard but ...
