I may have. I haven't received anything from you for ages. When I looked
into the 1110 emails I have in one folder on HAM antennas, surprise,
surprise, there were some of yours. Dunno how that happened, but am
working on my filters that send that HAM blog to that folder. Your email
adress has to be in the filters somewhere.

8^) I had a guy with a 58 Plymouth beg me to let him win so he could go on
in the eliminations. I asked him what he was going to do if the next guy
wouldn't let him win that race. He had no idea. When I looked at his car,
I had to laugh some more, as he was racing with snow tires on the back.

He was an Illinois farm boy for sure. 8^)

I remember you telling me about this car a while back.
