                        Hey Don,
                        That's what we used to say when getting into a Huey. But we had helmets to sit on.

                          The law of opposites:
                          this law has two definitions. A. Whatever you are shooting for, you tend to hit the reverse. B. Even if you may feel the same about outlaws, and inlaws, you can't hang them both.

                              Don,
                              Thanks for the invite, only time I was in Texas, spent a week in Waco waiting for a part for my 47 Indian.
                              It just gotta be a nicer looking state than that.
                              I'll let you know of my ETA.
