Topband: Beverage thru the forest

[DGB]

Many thanks to all ... I love the collective wisdom on this board!

Tomorrow, the running will start! We are into the indian summer now, 
most the leaves have fallen, up in the mid 50's for the next two days.

Thanks again, 73 Dwight NS9I

P.s. Looking forward to getting past 82 on the topband.
