Hi Howard,
it took me a moment to notice that you left me a visitor message, so sorry for the late reply… I could also accuse the currently much colder than usual spring weather (might as well be late winter :(, the only thing missing is some snow out there - I might decide to go into hibernation 
). So you might want to either keep Hamburg off your travel list or bring warmer clothing with you (I’ve spent some time in NY state, where climate wasn’t much different from what I experience here, but was a nice time I always like to remember. Tx is definitely much warmer…)
Thank you for your kind words, and good to know I could help!
My greetings to Tx 
Jens
