    So, does Guru status mean he knows a lot about what he says? Or says a lot about what he knows?

    Congrat's Doug!
    I know this, because Tyler knows this.

      Your somebody now....your somebody now!!! I shall bow to thee on the next occasion! I will say, he knows which room of the house to get ready when he has folks over!! The Man Cave!!!

      Eric, I think in Doug's case they could both be true!! Sorry Doug, I could not resist!!

        Not to change the subject, but I just notice DGXSER's post count.....

        And all in 6 months! That must be some sort of record.

              Thanks guys - and Wildcat. I must admit I've been doing some pretty shameless posting here in the last couple weeks as I've had my eye on that number too. LOL on Eric's philosophical musing . Touche Don - I love it . And it looks like one more post and you're there too. Congrats in advance! Tarzan and Phil - right back at you. I've certainly gleaned some nice tidbits from you both.

              And what do you know, here's another one on my quest for the next level

                Seriously Doug, you ARE DA-MAN. Congrats on alot of work and alot of experimenting. You sure found the right way on pulling a stuck mixture screw!! I just stuck my hea din my bike to keep from jinxing you and Eric as you worked on that thing. My record speaks for itself!

                And you have a serious Man-Cave setup there too! I took away more than one idea for mine.

                Ohh...and mine is minus at least 250 post for all the jokes and shenanagins I throw in to keep things lively!

                  Don - Hey! Congrats fellow guru! (for some reason that sounds like something Dr. Johnny Feaver would say - fellow babies ). Don't you dare take those 250 back! Then I'll have to take 'em back, and I don't know how I'll ever make it back if I have to post intelligent stuff everytime .

                            Matt - lol - I used to pose as a responsible adult, but it was just to difficult to maintain the illusion.

                            Thanks again, all.
