Ted,Sorry for the delay, but it has been rather strange over the last little while. I have been fighting problems with my right hip ... as there is nothing like a joint left in there.

Thanks. I have spent a bit of time down in Charlotte doing various NASCAR projects over the years. Always enjoyed the area, if not all the people we had to deal with down there. Had considered moving down there, too.
