 ML> Assuming the thing is not too rusty inside and not too filthy

Purrs like a kitten and cleaned up easily, found a whisk at the local St
Vinnies for 50c 8-) unfortunately it's the short one for the K4A or the
$89 p.o.s. 8-(

 ML> By the way, welcome back. What have you been doing with yourself,
 ML> and what's with the emeritus stuff on your Master Gardener?

After my mom passed I took in an old college classmate as a roomie - big
mistake 8-( lost my home, a lot of $$, and most of my worldly
possessions (further details probably not suitable for a family echo -
let's just say it involved an undisclosed addiction and serious
psychiatric disorder)... and 'emeritus' as I had to drop out of the MG
program between getting shed of the psycho-roomie-from-hell and a
decided lack of transportation... Did get to add something to the sig -
got a chance to test for a ham radio license and passed Technician *and*
General in one session *without studying* passes Oct 8, one day before
my birthday, and my callsign KG7FZL appeared on the FCC website on the
17th, mere hours after the District of Corruption reopened for business.
