Sounds good Mike. Hmm, leave Austin, swing by the north panhandle, take a little jog down to Houston - be there in a couple of hours :D.

Cowboy, I thought she was volunteering to help.  Bein' as I'm older, I've learned not to volunteer - but I often do it anyway.  As for help with knapping..  just need more band-aids..  ::)   :D
