Thanks for the education, Rich and Alan. I've seen these bars before and have heard the Pete Z name, but I hadn't put 2 & 2 together until now. Take care, guys. Hopefully, I'll see you in Columbus in a little more than a month.

I told Brent to expect some 10 second time slips if no problems arise. He has some good pieces in his car. Thanks for coming over and don't forget the Flynn Railroad CD! Bob Michael.
