Re: Ever leave a restaurant because of your waiter?

Really didn't answer your question. Yes, I would have left in a hurry! But no, I haven't had to make that choice because I'm pretty picky about how I choose where to stop. If I am out of my territory I usually go by how many pick-ups are in the parking lot and if they are clean or dirty. Motel stays...

Hey Fellers, starline should have some brass pretty soon. They show not in stock but you can order it. That usually means 2 or 3 weeks, if they aren't going to run some soon they won't let you buy it now. I've bought a lot of brass from them and they are first class fokes to deal with.... John
