Jay,
Ididn't know that you were that old or have you just been rode hard and put
up wet.

Richard (Old Fartz #53) Holden--Red Datsun Z AP 77
Guilty of all symptoms Jay has mentioned except hangover, but add being
stove up from just driving an event much less working on the car. Of
course, my beast (car) fights back when I try to make it go where I want it
to. I love the challenge. If replacement cam arrives in time, headed to
Texas to fight the beast yet again.

> Getting a hangover from two (OK, maybe three ;<) beers. Having a

>
> Having to put sunscreen on top of your head (and wearing a big
