Hmmm...B  I believe it was Randall who suggested a few postings ago that, for
a wife who helped with brake bleeding, we should hang a plant for her, or
better take her to dinner.



I gave it passing thought.B 



Glad that was all.



The New York Times this Sunday, in the Automobile section, page 9, bottom

Barrettp-Jackson event.B 



I showed it to my wife tonight, who promptly responded,B  "Sell it, pay off
the garage, take me on a cruise."

negotiations from there.
