In this world it's always sad to see a master craftsman pass, they are of a dying breed; he'll be missed. Rest in peace.

I'm late posting it as I have a double-whammy of my main computer crashing and internet down at the same time, so I am on the laptop in a cafe. I'm happy to be alive though.
Rest in peace Rainer.
