Well of course the old lady bit my head off as we have dogs and cats and left the rent$ on the table. Well long story short we will have to meet up again and I will leave them all home! Thanks Jamie ur club is a real nice set up and for the people I met were some great people too. Thanks agin Jamie...oh yeah great job on them points!
