This is our time. Though may not be the easiest of all, we are to find our
place and try living a happy life within theese conditions.
Cest la vie, I have Wife, Kids (4 just to go for sure), more or less
health, youth (though passing away slowly), my parents are still with us
etc. I dont care too much about economical problems. Its not all about
money. I will keep on searching for a good home for Mr. Greenengine.

BMC forever.

Nice day to You all!
