RE:

Hey, I'm getting a mental image here ( of you pawing the ground that is)!!

Backs doing ok right now. I'm getting a second opinion next Monday. If the
second opinion comes in with the same verdict, then I will probably have the
surgery in April or May. Jerry said a friend of his told him it took a whole
month to recover. I'm thinking a week max then I can go back to work, we
shall see. I can't make money if I'm not at work, and my p&l is a big part
of my evaluation next year.

AND I'm afraid to buy a new truck with the stock market situation. Who knows
- I may be out of work sometime soon.
