Great coin, Eng !! ... oh, and awesome news that the good ol' West Coast is heatin' up!! (you're correct => this can be a pretty wet/growing time o' year out there)

=> the wife and I went golfing this morning/afternoon ... and then I mowed the front and back lawns (yup, looks like the snow is probably gone for a few more months ... knock-on-wood!!)

Great coin, brother ... oh and yes, I have sweet 'Dom' example to share ...
