[AT] tractor pulling----old style

[charlie hill]

Bob and Farmer,

I certainly wasn't trying to brag that I could use the "blind typing 
method".  I did happen to take one year of typing in high school because I 
barely passes French 1 and didn't want to take French 2 in my senior year. 
I never was any good at it but I am able to do it in my own style as Bob 
suggests.  I just never have found my way to those numbers on the top row 
without  looking and I was embarrased to see I had typed "437 Camaro". 
Believe me, I know a lot more about Chevy engines than I do about 
typing........ or writing.

Charlie
