I have taken it to 16F degrees and was almost sweating.
    Please, I hope you didn't read my remarks as criticism, they certainly weren't meant to be - just a curiosity that needs scratching. Hang your own hang, as they say around here.

    Not at all. Sorry if my reply came across as defensive. That's the problem with text sometimes. If one isn't careful text can be taken the wrong way which has happened to me on several occasions due to my failure to tone-check my replies sometimes. Sorry bout that.

    Sorry! ...going crazy, especially after looking at work like yours. Looking to put together a simple UQ for Spring time use, and your work is inspiring. Thanks XT!
