Ha! I probably drink 25 cups of coffee a day. Just drank a whole pot this evening in fact. So that's yer secret. <g> I was wondering how you always appear to be running at full steam ahead. I assume that isn't decaf in your cup. I was thinking about you the other day. Reminded myself to let you know about a new show I think you would like. I was watching the Discovery Channel with my two sons. I don't remember what we were watching. After that show was over a new show came on that we really enjoyed. It is similar to that show called Junk Yard Wars, however in this one they engineer their own stuff and have professionals help build it and have a budget to buy their materials. They make some pretty cool things. The show is called Monster Garage. Here is the link: dsc.discovery.com Last week they converted a large box truck or step van into a vehicle that that could be used to hurl packages or shoot newspapers and envelopes. They even devised a large trap door in the roof that allowed a TV set to be catapulted 50 -60 feet through someone's picture window. It was corny at times and pretty cool. The boys and I really enjoyed it together. It got their wheels turning. They want to think of something we can build together in the garage. Maybe a go- cart or something... Anyhow thanks for bringing shows like Battle Bots, and Junk Yard Wars to the Porch. Keep an eye out for Monster Garage. I think it's on Monday evenings. <EDIT> I just found their schedule on their website: dsc.discovery.com -InventorOfTheHydrolicLazyBoyReclinerSwivelChair
