    I can just see it in my mind ..... one of the things I'm afraid PATTI 
will do sometime ..... X is too lazy to do that but I've no doubt in my mind 
that PATTI might try it.

    Yea ..... you sure cannot let him get away with that -- just as I cannot 
let PATTI get away with anything either.

    HOpe it's just for a few days -- after my last spill my back is STILL 
hurting from time to time.  Most of the time I make sure I put my back brack 
on before I ride.
    You take it easy  now for a few days ...... I'll be thinking about ya'!!! 
 Take care .....
