[TheForge] CQ CQ Anyone out there?

[Jerry Frost]

Doesn't THAT cover a lot! Glad you're starting to see something from Alldays 
(the current). Have you shown them the K car drive for the hammer? I'm 
betting you'd get MUCH faster replies. I'm holding myself back from 
subscribing to the .recsheds forum. It's hard though, HARD. If they think 
your new shed is too grand, tell em you burn ferrets for light and it's 
insulated with spider webs. Mine's insulated with spider webs.
