[TenTec] Come On Guys

[Wade Staggs]

*Sorry folks,*
*                      I was just engaging in light hearted humor. We
surely didn't want to confuse anyone. And as for our reluctance to change
over to the Metric system? People in Great Britain, still use the term/unit
.. Stone .. to describe their weight. How old is that standard? I must now
go outside and open the SWR Drain on my Coax. It's been creeping up lately.
We sure are having beautiful weather today in Tennessee. What a beautiful
day to finally rebuild the carburetor on my Antique Snapper riding mower.
The Ten Tec Group is still the best. *
