    THANK YOU TFP!

    I'm on my 2nd season using TFP guidelines and you guys have saved me SO MUCH money and headaches over the past year and a half. This is my first post, but I've been "lurking" on the site for a while. My ancient Dolphin Diagnostic is dying and I am going to join the S200 club. I just became a...
