you, wink.

Yes, Im okay, but I will NEVER do that again, but I'm back on working on a new
design. (To carry on with the gun theme...) I may be wounded but the war of the
GBC has just begun... and I won't stop until I'm victorious, or until they pry a
soccer ball out of my cold "rigor mortising" hand. Wink!
Now, tell me, how do you end up getting two slaves?? I would be happy with just
one, let me in on your secret...Shhhh, no one else is reading, and I wont tell
anyone.

Hey at least he returns them, my son is pilfering them for his own attempts at
the GBC.

Yes, both are great references, and I have clicked away a lot in the last few
days.

Thanks for the encouragement, and as soon as I get something going, you (the
collective laflrc) will be the first to know.
