I was thinking that also but I did not want to stop his heart. :lol:
I don't know if that would stop Jim's heart...might get it racing a bit! :wink:

It's keeping track of which back-ups are the back-ups for the back-ups --- is when it gets a little confusing. :wink:

Fiddle is the 4 string instrument in question. And at 5'6" without my boots on, and were I known as a bass player, I guess one might justifiably call me a miniature bass player. :mrgreen:

FedEx says it's in transit and located somewhere in Chino, CA. (I guess that's where they make the slacks.) :wink: Estimated delivery: Jan. 18.
