The paychecks in Washington are starting to bounce is the reason.

Does that mean we can finally take our unit off the dash now?

a question not asked would be a stupid one, and man thats a bummer, just when i get all setup, now i need to update again...

[ray koziatek]

lakebound if i had a unit that depended on the loran-c system,and the loran - c system was gonna be elimanated..then as a 2plus 2 =4 guy i would of sort of figured out that by myself ....but your right ..
