I have tried to learn how to spend other people=92s money (legally) and =
so far it has not worked for me! =20

I agree that as long as you don=92t drop that major cast iron on your =
foot you are not hurting anybody putting a V-8 in your truck.  (If you =
didn=92t you would be saying to yourself =93I coulda had a V8!! =97I=92ll =
be here all week=85)  The only rule is that we must all enjoy every step =
of the hobby and the results of our labors.

Happy November!
