Wayne:
I think you can keep the other 18" up there but on second thought, that might
be better than the ICE we have now.
Everything is covered. It's been raining with the temp. right at freezing.
But by Friday it should be about 60 Deg. F. here.
If you would like we can try and arange some of that to be sent North.
Thanks for your reply.
Have been having a problem trying to send mail to the board. I think Mike
made some changes and is pulling his hair out now.
The only way I can post anything is to log in on the BBS, when you can get to
it, and than post it.
Sent a coupl of e-mails to Mike about the problem. Maybe it's just ME and my
pewtor. Will see what happens.
