I also noted that "remarkable" statement, "while the xyl does yard work".  This secret must be divulged.

Forget this boring moonbounce stuff--I want to know more about this   
other strange phenomenon you've reported, where you get to do fun ham   
stuff while the XYL does the yard work!  I don't think I've ever heard   
of such a thing before! 

Outstanding accomplishment, OM!! 

;-)

posting much stuff)
