Back on the list, but when I get a chance to come up for air, I'll show 
you some of my "recipes'.  Right now I have a wife that tore up a knee 
yesterday, and the local radio station is off the air, and thats one of 
the things "I do" as a dying breed, at 81 yo, I still fix things.  So 
much of the day is shot before I can take a lot of time with this.

If someone else can help this gentleman, feel froggy and jump right in.
