Re: Chat
Thanks Stuart! I wondered why a Pirate would advertise, but yes, when you think of it in economic terms, It makes sense to scare your foe into a bargain instead of fighting. Funny, in all my younger years a good swipe at a Morgan in grade school included horses and horse thieves (I guess we were too young to know about spiced rum.) Truth be known, the couple generations before me were Quakers.
Thanks for the article. Morgan.

If you had asked me for a word connected with 'Morgan' I would have said 'car'. A quick google suggested they are still trading

Re: Chat
When I lived in England I would have loved to have a Morgan Super 3 with the twin cylinder v engine mounted out front.
Like this one. Price way above my head at that time. Looking at the drivers head it was probably above his as well (thing bald)
This one is selling for only £25,950

I don't think you would have enjoyed it this morning. The view from the bedroom window is beautiful - hoar frost frames all the branches on the trees and bushes. It hasn't been above freezing for several days but at least today we have lovely sunshine. Those 'boys toys' are great for sunny, warm summer days BUT..... Even the teenager next door bought a rigid (2nd hand) convertible rather than the traditional canvas one when an indulgent absent father treated him for his 18th.

Re: Chat
How long has this phase been running?
Re: Chat
And here's the count for ice data:
We have 12 files with positions only. These were used by Kevin so he could better place some OW Phase III ice data.
We have 47 files with just ice data, 84 files with just weather data and 76 files with both ice and weather data.
For those of you who haven't see them, the Ice_1 and Ice_2 columns usually had data about ice coverage and/or thickness.
| Element | Total |
| Ice_Log | 9,643 |
| Ice_1 | 20,762 |
| Ice_2 | 1,991 |
| Total | 32,396 |
