Little Johnny wanted $100 for a new bike and prayed for two weeks, but nothing happened.

Then he decided to write God a letter asking for the money. When the local postmaster saw the letter addressed to "God, USA," he decided to send it to the President of the United States.

The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5 bill.

Little Johnny was delighted with the $5 and wrote a thank-you note to God. It read: "Dear God, thank you for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, D.C. As usual, those crooks deducted $95."

I'm pretty pleased. The alternative woulda sucked

It's New Zealand, nothing ever "comes up" there.  Only dangers are bungy jumping and being trampled to death by sheep.  But, I do have a mate in Papamoa who I could maybe press into being reliable, if the sheep get too vicious. 

A good cold morning to you all

Mine will be similar. Did you do any shockproofing for battery or Ignitech?

The igniteck is mounted with the rubber mount from the original igniters, just squeezed in and I made a flat plate that slipped into the slot. If you know what I mean...  I can get better pics if you want. The battery just has a rubber mat under it...

I'm pretty sure I wore the groves off of this album in HS.
