I was with someone older today and he was talking about his drinking budget
being tight. I mentioned to him that my grandfather used to say he was a
little "bit tight" when he had too much to drink. He said that his father
used to use that expression also. Anyway ... that's what always comes to
mind when I hear: "we(e) tight".
And ... on another note ... I had occasion to pick up my Lockheed(sp) brake
and clutch fluid when I noticed that ... it says ' ... and clutch fluid'.
You might be able to find it now Frank.

( both sad and happy that he has some kind of leak from his rear end ... uh
... rear wheel. )
