Chuckle.  But that dry state is sad too, Benjamin F. said the beer was Gods 
proof he loved us.  I can recall a few of those, but they are now about 40 
years in the past.  You see, I'm an old fart now, coming up on 77yo, who 
quit school after the 8th grade to go fix tv's for a living.  But that got 
old by 1960, and by '63 I was working as a TV transmitter/microwave 
engineer & never looked back.  By '77 the plate on the door said Chief 
Engineer.  And I had been the CE at WDTV from '84 till 2002 when I figured 
at 67, I had been cooked by serious high voltage, or walked around on steel 
up to about 1000 feet up, or lugged 3 cases totaling about 75 pounds 5 
miles up and 5 miles back on North Mountain CO in the middle of the night 
to replace a klystron in a whiteout enough times.  Slowly drifted into a 
type 2 diabetes setting about 15 years ago, which explains why the nearly 
no-cal beer.  But it was fun while it lasted, and my phone still rings when 
TSHTF.  You can see some of what keeps me out of the bars at 
<http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene> if you have the time to kill.  
Currently working on some seat benches/storage boxes for the neighbors, and 
a fresh piece of Maple for one of my BP guns.  But no pix of either on this 
web page, which is this machine FWTW.

Cheers, gene
