    One's plenty for normal use. A TV cameraman friend of mine has run on one for years and works the same as before, no bull.

    Enjoy your holiday.

    A pleasure to meet you herr baron, the lodge at the Jadgstaffle are always humming with stories of your exploits.
    A hope and a prayer for your Father, cancer is challanging to any warrior.
    I join with other comrades in this forum looking forward to seeing your pictures and stories. Keep your eyes on the skies and the French off your tail, Herr Baron, Prosit!
