open headers and gunfire, it isn't what it used to be.

Regards, Neil  Tucson, AZ

>Yes, Neil I agree. The only thing worse than the ugly bad smell of hair and
flesh burning, is when you are the only one in the shop and know who it is
that is burning. The one I really hate is when you have your head sideways
and a hot spark goes into your ear. You can hear that sucker sizzling all

had to be removed because they became malignant.
