2 Eagles already?!  :rotfl: Welcome to the nut house.... urm, I mean  Eagle world  ;).
No, seriously most of us have more than 1 Eagle... it's completely normal. It's a horrible disease
Anyways welcome to the Nest. If you have any questions, this is a great group of guys and gals that will help. And at this point has probably seen, heard and done it all.
