    Welcome to the family where the language and reasoning important the Border is not in our work is to save lives regardless of color, religion or social position, much less. The important thing in our work does not need language to communicate, or borders to help.
    Greetings from Mexico.
    you’re new friend Filiberto.

    What happens to 5" on the plug at -20 degrees ???

    Haha, a funny man. Actually it's now grass/brush/woods fire season here now that most of the white stuff is gone. A certain hillside still has plenty of snow and many idiots sliding down it on fibergalss sticks, but fortunately it's just outside our district.
