Happy Birthday from me as well. I have to admit that I've gotten a lot of mileage out of using your signature line.

Lawson, It's guys like you that keep me keeping on. My wife keeps me keeping on in a different way. She shares your birthday and is 61 today. Dec 27 1957. You would like her, an old fashioned girl.

Hey Guys and Gals. Thanks for all the good wishes. I'm doing well except for the carbon build up. I need to take Apatchy out and blow the dust out of both of us. Ford Barn is the greatest. If I can no longer do it, at least I can read about it here. LOL
