Thanks Jango ... yah, I only lasted a week as well ...

=> I do have a couple of irons in the ol' fire, but they still have a week or more before I'll know if they're mine, or not? (the waiting is the hardest part) ...

... but until then, I thought that this lil' beauty seemed well worth its price-tag so I pulled the trigger (I think it is very cool) ...

I-Fell-Off-The-Wagon-=>-But-Hey,-It-Was-Merely-A-$50-Tumble!

got it for 7 bucks, but sure doesn't look as good as yours. don't let my coin see yours, it well get self esteem issues.

here to falling off the wagon! something I have enjoyed quite a bit lately!
