Hey Ron
Why do consider yourself old? I am half your age and you still have all my
respect because no matter what, you will always know more than I. (According
to our trucks anyway and more than likely about a hell of a lot more.) While
being on the DML, I have learned a lot about my truck from you and of course
others, so don't sell yourself short!

Thanks
Jay
