My mother is dead now, God rest her soul, but I still have this thing about topping off with fuel at the end of the day. But I understand (as Edwin, Mike, and the rest of you have most helpfully pointed out)- that we have all of these things as tools that we use to load and operate our machines properly and even as an older dog I can still be taught new tricks.Thanks for the fine discussions.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
