Thanks for that tid-bit. Had to drop off the thread earlier. It was just too nice a day to spend indoors. Spent the afternoon on my deck with my buddy sighting in a couple of rifes and blowing up coke cans with the 12ga. Listened to my Mountaineers trounce Wofford. I've got the Richmond race on now, not bad for a NYC boy,eh?
