Whoops, well color my face pinkish.



I knew that, I just didn't connect it until I was hit in the face.  Thank

you.  Now I'll go rub my sores.



The good news is I finished the book DeTomaso, the Man and the Machines on

my way to Vegas last week.  I finally read a lot of that great information

you all have been bragging about.  What a story, and it was so well written

too.  It really answered a lot of questions.



Unfortunately, I was in Vegas for business,a nd worked my tail off Friday,

Sat and Sun.  I flew back to Spokane on Monday and won't be returning for

the events this weekend.  I will certainly miss everyone as I've become

fond of reading the posts and really wanted to meet a many of you.



Anyway, my long term plan for purchasing a Pantera is on track.  Hopefully

I won't let it get derailed.



Asa Jay
