Rod,
Not quite a year, but many many stitches. Have been rat holeing as many
sheckles as possible for the next one. Would love to pay cash for it. Not
having equipment payments really takes some of the pressure off when you are
trying to build clientele. Am going to try to get a few days to hop on the
Harley and visit you and the Oregonians (Aaron/Ron) but I am going to lose 4
days in July for the Montana 200 so I don't know if I can make all of it
happen. Not enough days in the week. Embroidery!!! What a kick!!!
Herb
