very nice work
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Those are really sweet...and it is chilly, they say it'll be 14 tonight...in Dallas.  Who'd a thunk?  The wind's made my pool skimmer look like some weirdo ice sculpture.  Must be gonna get real cold over Mike's way.

I hear ya, this is only my fourth Texas "winter".  But I love it down here, for the hog hunting as much as the mild winters.  I do miss the ice fishing.  Anyway, I still think those are beautiful points Cowboy.

Thanks guys! I'm starting to get my head wrapped around this stuff again. Yeah, I couldn't hardly believe I could knock that many out till I broke one. Here's the one that shut me down. Was trying to put a new base on it...
