ooh! Mike likes that idea!
your folks in Windsor, too? I could skip visiting cleveland on my way
back and head right through your neck of the woods, if you'll be around
mid day somewhere around the 20th (my return is pretty flexible). do
you think you'd be willing to part with the Big Plate of Steel on a
permanent basis, or are you planning to get another Gen III some day?
