[tri-med] Re: Utah/Colorado peeny

Good morning,
There is a web site you can go to and down load boardmaker for a trial period 
of one month for free.  I downloaded it on Friday evening and have been going 
crazy making boards for Cody's board and also for his pec board.  I played with 
and found all of the correct sizes and also how to change the font sizes.  It's 
easy and FREE.  Just go to this web site and you will find it also to buy is a 
lot cheaper half the price if I remember correctly.

Good luck and have fun...I know I am.  I am printing ones that I know he will 
not use for a few years but I will be ready.

Also be careful when you purchase the board through insurance.  What we have 
been told is they will only purchase one a life time so make sure it is the one 
you really want.  We get one through the school until Cody is 26 and then we 
will buy one.
