Yeah, feel the same way Mark, belong to both clubs and they both have their benefits especially with contacts, but the AOMCC really shines with the spares and sheer amount of knowledge available.
Hell, we woke up to -20 this morning, most years I would have been out a few times by now but not this winter! We are actually breaking weather records for the coldest February ever. Frank

Ah, such fond memories.... glad I live w...
