JB,

Well...The first part of your missive here isn't surprising, ya know.

What WAS the weight of the AVERAGE American male back in the early 70s anyway? 175lb TOPS, maybe???!!!(the old T120 fit our collective a$$es pretty well back then I'd say)

But ya see....all ya gotta do is compare the Barry Bonds playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates of just a few short years ago with the "new and improved" model currently belting homer after homer into McCovey Cove for them San Francisco Giants, to see what can happen when things get outta hand and maybe grow a little TOO BIG!!!

Re:The second part...
I hope the new proprietor turns out to be as well regarded by you as the old one was.

Cheers,
Dwight

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
