That's a good start you made Dave
All 3 of'm
(Now which one is the duck???) IM Kidd'n I am kid'n!!!!!!!!
You do write that you take just little bits off at the time
To ME that is like driving to the airport ,got my suitcase in the trunk and
every 5 miles I git out of the car and look if the suitcase is still there
I try to get from A-B in as FEW cuts as possible
Every time you make a cut you have a chance to make a mistake
MORAL!!!
FEWER cuts FEWER mistakes

Good luck and Happy corv'n to ya
