Steve, you need to keep in mind Tom's advanced youngness. Looking down the
barrel of a loaded potato gun seems entirely appropriate when you are Tom's
age. You've just forgotten.
Best holiday wishes to both Tom and Steve and the other contributors to the

John Hofstetter a.k.a. Ol'Saline, who's been a lot of places none of us is
allowed to go anymore and that's a real tragedy, and who to quote the
senator from Texas, "has more guns than he needs but not as many as he
wants"
79 Scout Terra with 8000 lb. Warn Winch, Detroit Locker in rear and limited
slip in front, 4" Trailmaster lift kit, Holley Electronic Fuel Injection,
Mallory Unilite Distributor                                  MSD ignition
"It's a legend", but it's too darn long and too darn wide sometimes to go
where I ask it to go.
