Hey Rascal, at 62 I'm older , you're not getting soft, it's called wiser :-)
Could be a brake metering prob. Important is Glug, Glug, The Buffalo Bills
NFL are going to play in Toronto due lack of fan quanity in NY. Why does it
keep Snowing, Snowing, Snowing. We're marking vehicles with balls on the
antennas. The Bible okays Wine and Beer in moderation.
Time to go back to reading Dakota mtce manual.
Jim, 91 Dak
