EEWW hmm do i wanna download it now lol

I remember why I got rid of it in the first place. I use Simpleweather (thanks Stiefler) and never have any leak with it.

I am digging the radar map that is pretty sweet. I am also liking that I don't have MB so I am not stressed like Jlevy :lmao:

Thanks Gord ... glad I still had my download link in my e-mail
