Hmmm. I think that is what I suggested." Switch to reserve on the go. " A little background on me. Been turning wrenches since 1978 when I joined the

U.S. Army. Worked on tanks and wheeled vehicles for seven years for my uncle (Sam). Preferred tanks. IQ not 180 but plenty of common sense. Lived in

Germany for almost 6 years. Lots of life experience. Saved up for my 1st motorcycle when I was 16 back in 1976. :2tup:
