Patrick, Build 'em!
-L PS: I need to make a correction to my original post. I typed 'not', when I meant 'no'; unfortunately, that extra 't' changes the meaning. Peter, Rich, Jim, Anthony, Joe, etc., can build 'great' wheels. I had meant to type: "can build good, no, great wheels", but by saying "can build good not great wheels" seems to say they're okay, but not great. *Not* what I meant. However, although they build great wheels, you can build a great wheel, too. If someone doesn't want to build a wheel, by all means, call one of them, or find a local builder. But if someone is inclined, they can handle it. -L On Wednesday, April 17, 2013 2:38:59 PM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Thanks. Y'all almost have me convinced.
