I knew somebody would buy it, but the photo of the engine bay advertising MM was just too much.

Editing is important...especially in the title of a new thread.

A lot of people write add instead of ad. Or breaks instead of brakes. I close my eyes and chant "serenity now" 5 or 6 times and let it go.

Man, you guys are harsh! I do know the difference, but I guess I hit the "d" twice and didn't proof read. Gimme a break! Must be a slow day for all of you.

One of these days, I've got to find a raw tomato that I like. The closest that I've ever come is grape tomatoes which are good, but not ideal for most applications.

You've gotta give Steve a bit of a pass, he's turtle obsessed, and everyone knows those guys are a little off.

I haven't been posting enough to keep 'em busy !

I never prooffead before hitting enter... typing on 3" screen, and sometimes with a Lab helping out .

I can actually speel, and managed to make mostly "A"s through hs & college.

I actually know when one should type 'A's too ....

I had a career where syntax, spelling, and getting it exactly correct actually mattered...

Then I quit

Well, I studied English while I was still a young kid living in Spain before moving to the USA. Also took 8 years of French, 4 years of Latin, speak Catalan, and of course Spanish (Castilian). So, as you can see, I get a little confused.

LOL

I crack myself up sometimes.
