So, Master Chief,

How do you manage to press a trigger when that coffee mug finger of yours is in rigor from hanging on to those cups for so long?? :razz:

Welcome, and again, thanks for serving! :patriot:

Hey, I've been to Honey Grove, and one of my best friends lives in Deport. Everybody knows where Deport is... right up the road from Talco!
