Dan, I never answered this email...sorry 'bout that, but been so damn busy
of late, am behind on everything....appreciate all your sage advice & will
save this email for future reference. Am trying to tie things up around here
so I can get out of town...heading to Florida soon, to do some much needed
serious fishing. Am turning a ripe old 60 next Tuesday & the plan was to hit
the road soon after.
  Hope your spring comes soon...ours is well under way and lovely!
Tom
