Lynn,

You should ask this on the 120-140 forum too ! I'm sure someone there got an answer for you.

Is there a TANDY leather store in your area? If so, they can either help you find someone who can do it, ot teach you how to do it yourself, this could be the start of a great second job........... :)

Really didn't mean to pry into the lives of the fabulously wealthy like that, I just assumed he had to go flog the time clock like us regular folks.

Correct, poor Lynn you would think he would have learned by observing me do the very same thing. Then again he started with more than me so it should take him a little longer to reach the bottom.

If you want to hear that loud sucking noise (commonly referred to as airplane poor) times ten, just build an airpark.
