> Hey Rascal. When you get through all this we will have a few glug, glugs.I'm thinking of when we talked on the telephone about the V10 truck,sent funny emails back and forth and supported each other during :-) fire fights on the DML.God will pull you through this.I'm lucky and I pass that on to you. I bought a lottery ticket yesterday and it won a small amount :-)
I need to taste some Kentucky glug glug. The operation will be a success. Buddy.
