Thanks for the flowers, Spencer. I've been dealing with Radio Shack since 
about '60, then the marquis on the door in Rapid City SD still said 
Tandy Leather, and they had lots of very high quality leather and tools, 
with the radio stuff on the back wall.  Yeah but today I can be called 
bionic, I had a pacemaker put in a week ago, the first penetrate my skin 
more than 1/4" surgery in 84 years.
