Oh, now I'm *easy*, too?? :-)

Sorta.  I was fortunate - my step dad was in town that weekend.  While
he's not certified, he's had many more "backyard" hours with a
buzz-box.  Admittedly, it was his first time UPSIDE DOWN.. but it worked
well enough.  *I* wasn't about to tackle something like that... when my
only previous experience was a couple hours one evening when my
grandfather *finally* let me try my hand (and, the prankster he is,
dropped aluminum down on my scrap work piece and then cackled gleefully
and choked out, "You can't want aloonimun" between laughs).

<GRIN>  You are right tho'... I *am* still youthful and courageous.. but
at least I'm smart enough to know I am.. thus things like Roll Cages and
Seat Belts are high on my priority list..
