Howdy,
         hey Jon, thanks for the heads up on the article! I think the 
writer is the same guy that ran over my truck bed cover I had setting on 
the 'Salt in front of my pits....I think he shoulda included my name for 
that! ( and the quote is ".... professorial....")    gee do I look like a 
professor? I'm a mechanician fer krist sake! The guys in the shop got a big 
laugh outa that description!!!!!
