Fred, I'm really proud of you.
You finally broke loose and spent a 100$ in repairs to that old dog you

I'm thinking that you are as cheap as Mike Miller but you surprised me.
Go to the archives and check your postings ................ this is
apparently the first money you've ever spent on maintenance.
