Hi all, after reading all of the posts the last week about
the Ten Tec ham feist, and you guys rubbing it in as to what a
really great and terrific time you had drooling and fondling over
all of the Ten Tec stuff , and some of you ( probally most of you
!) went home with some new and old toys, had a chance to rub
elbows with the FACTORY BOYS ! and TOUR the Ten-Tec plant !
Well, let me tell you guys, I'am stuck over here ( way over here

to Tennessee, ( I know, I've done it on the Motorcycle ! ) and
there was just no way I could attend, and I'am really, REALLY
JEALOUS !! and you guys just keep rubbing it in, and rubbing it
in, and RUBBING IT IN ! and for gods sake's, Stan Brock even
sent out a post of "thanks" to everyone for attending, and what a
terrific time they HAD ! and me, well let me tell you, I just say
