X2 on Toby's pics....spent many years in the Pacific Northwest, great memories, including the 195 mile relay race from Mt Hood to Seaside OR....well, the party at the end of the run was fun anyway.

Best of luck Larry and Patsy, if I don't get in at Vegas I'll stop by your shop when I'm in Kentucky this winter and say hello.
