Seems spooky to me, but if that's the way, I will give it a shot. Will a 1.4 gun be about right or do I jump up to the 2.0?

I did send an email via their catalog server, but didn't get a reply. I clearly need to reduce the pace of my life. Near full time job, trying to build a web site, helping with several campaigns, looking for a permanent job, rebuilding an AD chevy, finishing the house...
I'm tired!!! | | |
