Hi
I was scratching my head over your last message for a minute until I read
my message back and saw that a word was missing. I meant to say "pretty
sturdy furniture." I don't know whether I got ahead of myself or
not. Sometimes if this computer gets bogged down, you can be typing, and
it just won't process what you are typing. But, I bet it was my mind
racing too far ahead! Anyone who ever saw any of my ham shacks would never
describe the furniture as anything other than butt ugly!
