[AT] In the right place at the right time :)

[Michael Miller]

Jerry, I take it your a HAM?  If so, I have a tower here I would like to 
find a new home for.  It isn't worth the gas to cut it up....   I am not 
sure how long it is, but probably 30'?  I'll try to remember to measure it 
tomorow.  I also still have those 2 dirt scoops we talked about a while ago.

Mike
