Hello George, long time no hear ;-) (It has been at least a couple hours). Why wouldn't you have time to mess with me today ?? What makes today any different than any other day ?? I think I'll go diving then. Checklist; Lets see, first, find a seat and shut up................................ Second, go to the dumpster and get my gear. You know, the one with the dual o-ring seal on the manifold ................................... Third, don't wait for techdiver response, George can't play today, he doesn't have time. That covers it, I 'm outta here !!!!
