Hmmm, well I know for a fact there are 10 people here on BYH who have met LS in person. They might be able to give him aMaybe @greybeard is right, though, and LS is just playing hard to get!
review for potential mates 
Mine were easy to find. The quick connect for the backhoe was obvious since it was out in the open.
I had to wipe the fluid with a rag to find the one on the backhoe boom hose. All the fabric covers were soaked. Once dried (as best possible) off, I ran the joystick in each direction until I saw it getting wet again.

He went to buy a flying pig and some goats in Arklahoma.

Ah. And GW?? That makes 12.
I honestly can't remember if I met GW while there... I did meet her younger/est daughter and her DH... as well as some of her LGDs... I drove a long time to get there and didn't stay long as I had a long drive back to CO.

Well, so 12 folks can attest to LS and the kind of guy he is. So all of you folks will now just need to round up someone for him.
Miss @Rammy, you still have not provided a picture of yourself for us BYHers! The picture where you are hiding behind @Mike CHS's arm doesn't count! Maybe we should all convince @CntryBoy777 to post one of his pictures of you where you are not hiding!
And Miss @farmerjan, we are also waiting on a picture from you! I know you said that your phone won't do it, but there has got to be a neighbor who has a phone who can take your picture and email it to you so you can post. We BYHers want to know these things!
I looked more closely at the hydraulic leak. It appears to be coming from the cylinder itself on the right clamp of the grapple. I have only had it for a month so the dealer should repair it under warranty. One thing I would like to get your opinion on is whether I should pay to have the dealer replace the hoses on the grapple with hoses that are encased in steel braids or some other kind of protection. With my attacking limbs and bushes, I can see the possibility that a hose would hang on a limb and rip it out. What do you folks think?

Very little. The hydraulic lines have steel braid already inside, between the plies. It's not the ss braid that leaks,(it's not fluid tight) it's the very inside 'rubber' part that holds the pressure and a failure of that inner liner results in leaks, either because of defect in manufacturing, excessive pressure, rubbing against a metal object, too tight of a bend, or too little slack in an area where the hose must flex as a tilt cylinder moves in or out.
The only place I see armored hyd lines on ag equipment is in high heat applications...and they aren't cheap.
