Oh, I'm pretty used to Luke by now. Good egg and all that.

I just found it funny when he typed: "As a locksmith...."

That was kinda cool.

Take care,
Romstar

Sorry Luke just read the post about your business. That's one way of saving money on tools...And my bond card used to get my picks through airport security. I don't think I'm going to be trying to do that anymore though.
