But it's really for the tractor you parked in the front lawn for weeks. Even worse, I done it again. Trading rear wheels for the tractor I'm loaning my son, I stripped all the lug bolts on one rear wheel. After four days of trying, I just gave up and sent the axle in to the dealer. they'll be a full week. Stupid me, I did this right in front of the house. So, another full week with broke down tractor in front of the house. Don's got the best advice, I should go shopping for a new couch tonight. Karl |

You didn't mention _that_ part of the saga -- don't you have a shop you can pull things into? Get her a sofa _and_ a love seat or an easy chair. Just the fact that you have unbroken fingers to post with shows that she loves you -- you should reciprocate. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software?
