    Hey, you stay off my runway! :-) Hopefully it'll actually have grass
on it by that time. :-P

     Yeah, I thought I was bad, seing as how I have both of my CC #'s
memorized, but when the guy behind the counter has it memorized, that's
*really* bad! ;-) Well, if you're coming up a day early, hopefully we can
get 'em mounted, unless you're planning on doing it earlier than that, of
course.

   Peter? Randy? Bill?

    How about a DML raffle to raise enough money for me to put in a

in grass/mud/dirt dragstrip for next to nothing. ;-)
