What an excellent idea. Thank you. However, chandleries are a little
difficult to find in central Pa.
Talking of tickets to the UK, I needed to send a supercharger there for
some work, and the USPS wanted $135 to airmail it. As I pointed out, I
could take it there with the help of a Virgin, for $99 AND they would
ram free gin down my throat! (Virgin Atlantic had a deal at the time!)
For gawd's sake don't get me started on atlantic air fares!!!
