Bryon, You crack me up! I know where you're coming from. It's too bad you wasted all that money on "Training" that you could have done yourself just by reading... Of course, I've wasted well over $1000 bucks on stroke gear before I got edumicated as well. We've gotta start somewhere, huh!? Sending lots of love and good feelings towards you...
