Alan,

Although always sad to see someone leave beautiful Oregon for skungy
Idaho, (smile), I'm glad you pass so easily).  I was having problems here
in Portland, finally broke down and paid a mechanic to look at it, he
hooked it up to his machine, and 3 minutes later was done.  The damage? 
$10.00.  He'll have my business in the future when I need him.

Brad
