Ha, I used the welding hood trick as well. My GF heard about it and insisted we drive down to my shop to look at it with my welding hood this afternoon. It was actually pretty cool, never seen anything like it.

Thanks for starting the thread Santa Cruz. I didn't think my friends around Monterey Bay would catch it. Starting to hear from some of them this morning.
