Hi Brian For a lot of my questions and I have plenty :-) I take a first run
at "google" there is just no telling what you will run up there. For some
adventure without the heat and bugs here is a few sites with the advice you
seek. And because I got such a over whelming response to my last rating
report I will grade these too. But remember take nothing for granted that
you hear or see on the web. From the desk of "Ordassity" Harris
