It does have a really nice feeling high gloss finish and seems easy to grip in winter. I'm enjoying looking at it for the moment but I expect I won't be able to refrain myself from tossing her Majesty around soon, lol.

When you first start out you really don't have that much of an issue with disc selection. It gets complicated with so many good discs to chose from. I did not think I would have such an issue but I keep finding them or get given them from friends.

Good morning from here too! I've been up with the rising sun but the sky is so grey around here right now that it's kind of academic, lol.
