If there was one in it, I didn't make it, check with Ric, he may have it 
yet on his drafting table...

Since we're both diabetic, and diabetes does a fine job of stopping all 
that exercise if enough time has elapsed, I have no clue what Ric might 
actually use it for if I did build it.  Its as if Randy Travis is singing 
Digging up bones in the background but we never find one.  Frustrating.
