George ( down under) Hey guys, do I have to go have another baby to get some activity on the list? Geez, there must be something going on. If I have to I will take one for the team and go out and find some likely candidates to practice with, but come on....we must be doing some work on our rotaries. I miss you guys. BTW, is Tracy back yet? I have my "extra" ECU I need to send in.
