Thanks for the forgiveness. I guess I just had an old timers moment. All is well with me, if I can just get this dxxx car finished so I can drive it before I lose my license. Thanks again for all the responses. In the future I will make sure that all my post are on topic. Thanks, Dave.

Thanks, Dave.


Is there a question somewhere in your post that we need to answer? Nah, just kidding, it's all good.

I live at Lake Cypress Springs, Tx. Scroggins is nothing but a very small post office sitting in some tall pine trees of NE Texas and and it serves to deliver mail to us that are not near a town.

If the locked thread is the one that I remember reading, then I did agree with some of your original points too. I just didnt type anything, and moved on to the next thread.

Happy posting.

Hi Dave,
I'm very pleased to read your age.
I generally seem to be the 'old man' in many threads!
