        Not at all... Remember, it's a cycle. They start out looking good, 
        then end up like yours. They can be brought back to look like that 
        beautiful TR... eventually it too will look like yours. Dilligence, 
        effort and not a little funding will make your TR look as good as the 
        one you saw... Not to worry. It's natural.

        Entropy is a harsh mistress.

        That's why LBC ownership is a lifestyle choice:)
