Heading north for the winter and wondering how many red hatters are doing the same. Hope to visit chapters along the way, it's always such fun to share stories. MOTH is happy to amuse himself while I'm off in my red hat - in fact, I think he enjoys the peace and quiet..............

To fix this I tried to run a bead of silicon as per normal, but the bead was to big and messy so I removed it all. To solve, we had a syringe that we used for vetenairy purposes.
