   I plugged all of my info in to OSH Park, and it gave me 5 - 7 days 
for shipping.  WVA isn't any more back woods than SE Arkansas is, so if 
your bodge doesn't work out well, just shoot me a PM.  However, if you 
wait too long, it'll have to wait until next year.  Kiddo's come first.

   I'm allergic to hops, so no beer for me.  Baileys, and coffee works 
pretty well though.

   I'm divorced, so it's only me.  The only things I have to worry 
about, are my kids, and all three of my granddaughters.  I don't know 
what I would do without them.  They are what keeps me going when I'm in 
severe pain, and none of the pills are doing their job.

   I'm lucky that my youngest daughter lives just 8 hours drive from 
here.  My son lives across the interstate from the Cincinnati airport, 
and my oldest daughter lives in VA, an hour from DC.  I don't get to see 
them near as much as I would like to, but I'm already planning a road 
trip, for sometime in June.
