Thanks Celestino. I can't connect to our other forum to let you know I had some difficulty getting out of the house to send those P74 s to you but they are hitting the mail today. Sorry for the delay but you'll forget all about that once you start using them. Some people have a rocky start with them but if you do, try to push thru two or three uses and everything should smooth out and you'll be ridin' the wind of the legend my friend and becoming another member of our secret order.
