Hey Pete,

Congrats on the Shikari.  I hope that was the one you wanted, most importantly at the price you wanted.  ;D ;D

When you allow a lie to go unchallenged, it becomes the truth.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

Nice!; classy old piece, but better not to use more than 'trapdoor' level loads in it (they wll do just fine).
