In fact I encourage my 'first timers' to try it, just so they can see we aren't Superman.P.S. This sixty-year old would gladly fill his 36 year old T41 up and see how well his flour bombing skills held up. You kids ain't going to have ALL the fun!Ed________________________________________________________________________________
