My, my, the grace and kindness of folks on this board are unmatched in the wheelin' and non-wheelin' worlds.....

Thanks a long tonne, Steve. I already offered to bring back bumpas at NO CHARGE to my abode in Villa Park (a tiny burg near Anaheim) but so far only Andrew James has followed up... his'n and my'n will feel lonely in transit without your'n. <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" /> whoever else wants to come only as far as Orange County for pickup. i intend to finagle a day of fin angling in the not-so-distant Kern River prior to snagging the Calmini bumpas. As in the Leo Kottke tune "A Trout Toward Noon" for which BTW I'll offer note-for-note transcription and slow plus full speed lesson/playing for any fellow Kottke players/fans on the board (and any other of the many Kottke tunes I've worked up. Trolling for players on the board!!)

Back to TOPic-- thanks for your generosity Steve, and the initiative and effort of Jim et al to pull this together. Now, won't somebody jump in on this, or am I going to have to double up so the rest of us can get our dad-gum bumpers built? hate to have to try and sneak an extra bumper past SWMBO until some late-start gets motivated.

email thru PM if you'd like OC pickup.

Cheers!!
