Hi Microcaps.. There was a big steel foundry somewhere near Redding that closed down in the nineties. It's probably still in tact. I asked Bob if he thought is was worth mentioning to Bao Steel, but he never replied so I didn't do any more research on it..

One good thing about the poverty food, after 15 years of pounding beers and brandy, plus eating in almost every gag&puke restuarant in Wis when I had to work on the road for my job, ramen noodles are like fillet mignon to my stomach! LOL! It has already done it's garbage disposal duty in days gone by.. We had to eat breakfast in one little town where the ham was so bad for breakfast we started eating liver instead.. ooofda...  LOL!  Payday, such as it is, is only 8 days away and my daughters garden still has some goodies in it so I won't starve from lack of nutrition in the noodles..    Later folks... There's a tomato calling my name..
