Seem to have issues with the t times this year. Thought I had a fast time, but when I saw the times later realized there is work to do. cleaned up my area from Moses lake so that only what i NEED is there, so it should have been fast, but I was still 25 seconds slower than 6 weeks ago.

Nothing, VERY happy with this.
