The far, far reaches of the wild, wild west is close enough - heaven knows I've dropped enough hints as to my true locale. I'm not worried about phishing; I am worried about my friends!!!

Listen there On30Shay; I'm not too worried about being assimilated as long as you don't know how to spell the word. And resistance is not futile because you don't know how to spell that either.

Just come on up to New England. A basement with almost every house- and lately many double as an indoor swimming pool from all the rain. Gee, maybe that garage isn't too bad after all.

I have my computer set to show me what's on for today, so unless somebody posts on something from earlier, I don't see it.

It seems there are only a few of us Louisiana boys in the hobby. Us rednecks gotta stick together!
