Goes to show, get out and swing that coil! Never know what's there until you try.

What a find! LBJ

I rather like the fact that they have setup a system over there that insures the finder isn't left out in the cold. Be nice if they would do that over here, it would ease a lot of the laws, open things up a bit more, and reduce all nonsense and unnecessary tensions.
