Norman,

I guess I'm the other other Barry. I did use 'the other Barry' for a while,
but it seemed to add to the confusion.

That tit helps. Never noticed that before. I use the line drawing prints as
a tube log and keep the 2 sheets with the manuals. I write down what subs
I'm using and when I last checked the tubes.

Speaking of my name, I went to the bank on Friday and found out that I have
a $75 court judgement against me...only it's for another Barry Williams in
the town I moved from 5 years ago. I used to get dozens of horny women
leaving messages on my answering machine for this guy. I later found out
that he ran a junkyard and auto shop. My wife believed all of this at first,
but all of those women wore on her nerves. We had just married. I vaguely
remember a business calling about $75 years ago, and I told them they had
the wrong person.
