    Jim,

    You are making me feel bad. Time constraints alone is why I am unable to make it to Kerrville. Now Darrell has tossed in his motor problem and I am worried because I have 20K more miles on mine. So far so good.

    I worked with a Greek fellow in NYC back in the 1980's. After several tries I was able to pronounce his last name which was easier than Jon's big word.

    Hope you all have a great rally. Take and post pictures so I can drop salty tears into my caffeine free diet coke!

    Were you ever introduced to anyone and then you didn't know what to say?

    Now get that grin off your face.

    Reminds me of a story I heard just after the 1st man on the Moon returned to Earth and reported having met a "Moon Maiden" She looked much like the women on Earth, except that they have their Bosems on their back! He reports that it didn't seem to make much difference in appearance, but decidedly more fun to dance with ! Hmmm

    Default REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

    REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

    Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I get a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the
    work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

    So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

    There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. I bet he felt like an idiot.
