Sorry Rodney, back on topic

I can honestly say, I've never hijacked a topic before, and I kinda feel bad about it.[/QUOTE]

LOL.

I dont mind cause I think its a great idea!!! If its rat talk you cant really hi jack the thread.

Im thinkin central Kansas would be good. Man we could pick a small town that wants the business with a nice area and make it a yearly event????

Now to get mr gussett sum green bones with $ signs and stop him from lucking into more projects and I'll drive mine there to.
