That too and I mentally inserted the sturdy.    As I figured it was
missing.

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!

73, de Lou K2LKK
