Well, I won't throw things or yell, because you are absolutely correct. And I would put a team of you, Coby,amd Chooseanother up against any team the men here can put together. I'd bet on you guys, too. Of course, anyone who looks at my stocks, would think it wise to bet against me.

Love this: You can usually recognize them because their eyes are fairly glowing as they describe to you, in meticulous detail, some THING that they hope you might have out in the yard... because they are going to make some kind of... AMAZING INVENTION out of THAT THING... if you have one... JUST like the one they are looking for. I'd like to see that show. Where'd you see it? I bet you are one of those folks with cable, arncha? As for wussie females...Ego can be such an impediment. I know sometimes I get stuck in an idea, an approach that isn't working and my wife or one of my kids will suggest something that's so crystal clear and simple that I'm humbled. By the way, heard some market comment that the NAZ has pretty good support at 0.

That's really funny about the rafters. We males might have a Not Invented Here attitude regarding females and Guy Stuff, like construction and mechanics. But not all of us. I give wussy girls credit for being plenty smart. Doesn't intimidate me. I've seen ads for the Junkyard Wars program, but I haven't run across the show yet. It looks like it could be fun. But from what you say, these guys don't rise to the level of the Robot Wars-- robots designed to smash each other, chop the other 'bot into metal shavings. Great fun. And then there's the model battleships, equipped with guns, that engage in naval battles throughout the ponds of America. They sink each other. I have an URL for these guys somewhere, it's amazing. Have you ever had problems with mean little kids who drop things on you when you are delivering mail??? Some of the carriers have had trouble like this. I remember one time a gang of 12 year old thugs did threaten to squirt me with apple juice... there is almost nothing that rivals this for stickiness. But they didn't. I suspect I can be intimidating when provoked. Dad was a career military officer, and was capable of making us all scatter without doing much, really. If you project yourself as an adult you can stop a lot of trouble pretty quickly. It's not all that different when dealing with dogs, which are essentially kids-with-teeth.
