Thanks to all of our well-wishers and sorry about being quiet here these past weeks but the anxiety was very great.
The official tape is 200-125-116=441 OTT. 1469 is about 300 lbs. light. Really don't know what to make of this right now but the summer was very dry and hot. Still more weigh offs to go. Good luck to all. Larry
