its a head game for me.......if I keep trying I KNOW sooner or later it will happen,if it makes these newbies to the game feel any better...Ive been hunting this particular block for over 25 years so know it VERY well...and Im still coming up blank.

Persevere MD, persevere and it’ll happen, we all have dry spells then when you least expect it? Whammo! You get one - (or even two)
