Great news, I can tell from your post that you're over the moon with it.

As my dad said (may he rest in peace) many times near the end of his journey: "there's no brink's truck or moving van following the hearse..." 

(For those not familiar...a Brink's truck is an armored truck to move money and other negotiables around by road)

Congrats MAK. Well bought, in my opinion. Looking forward to hearing your progress.
