Mike, how is it that you seem to get all the rain this summer while some 
areas, not that far away, have a real drought going on?

OK on the socketed transistors and spark gap. We haven't had that much 
lightening this summer. Seems to miss us by a few miles every time. Got 
zaped 3 or 4 times last summer.
