Welcome, you will become addicted to this site. I live just north of you in the Chicago suburb of Wisconsin. Maybe it's this time of year, but I spend a LOT of time here. Have fun.

Always great to have another enthusiast on board. Comb the catalogs and web sites; make a big pile of mods and pray for an early spring. Welcome.
