Back at ya Blackhawk  :)

And yes, I'll be bringing some of these to the Classic.  I plan on driving my truck this year.  A 96 Saturn can only hold so many staves.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

You have about $6,000 dollars worth of wood their. If you paid yourself $30.00 per hour You could allow about 200 hours for all that work. I bet your muscles are a bit stronger than when you started! Great job! you have my respect. Steve

Keenan I Can't help wondering how you were only one off, you remind me of those prodigies that you can dump a box of paper clips in front of and they will tell you how many paper clips there are as they hit the ground
