It's funny you should mention that, I just watched a segment on Daily planet (discovery.ca) yesterday about the guy who goes around with a grapple on a boat and cleans the canals, seems he scored a bike every few grabs. Had a heap of them on the barge by the end of the day, even got a car. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery!
