Well, I want to join the new club and I don't want to miss out on the
advantages of the list. But I have to go digest for a while. Email all
day at work, 150 emails at home every day, a new sandblast cabinet, 2
Spitfires, 1 Jeep Cherokee with a scheduled lift/gear change/new
bumpers, skiing, and soon a 62 327 SS Impala, 4 wheeling and mountain
biking are just to much fun in too little time. If this is the worst
problem I ever have, I'll be a happy camper. If anyone feels a need,
you can email me direct at mginter@concentric.net Have fun.
Mike
Too many toys, too little time.
