Martin,

What the hell were you doing on top of a parkade at 2am in the morning?
Why didn't you trim those leaders in the warmth of the house .....before
you went out shooting?..... :) Jeesh didn't you learn anything here in
Vancouver from Tom A, Henning and myself? :)

Now the tea part I really have to wonder about. Certainly after we watched
you indulge in copious amounts of fine single malt Lagavullin! I thought
you handled the "lifeforce" of it very well and hardly took you for a tea
man! ;)

A Leicaman I can understand. But a teaman? Really! :)
