I actually think Mark L is a bit boring. So I need to think of a better user name so I can do the aka Mark L thing. :)

He He Mark, there is a small story to the aka papa smurf thing, was on an AP meet with some of the AP members up at the Bunya Mts national park a few years back and one of the members called me papa smurf and it kinda stuck so to speak been with me ever since. I do not mind. :lol: Ian (aka papa smurf). ps and I have been using that last little bit ever since.

Glad you're back. Sometimes life gets in the way of doing what we want - just have to roll with the punches and keep getting up.
