    Yep, got the PM and it was exactly the info I needed. Sent you a couple questions back and thanks for the added info on the walkway. I'll add it to the other info you sent that I put into a paint-a-UP file.

    Thanks,

    Sumner

    weathering UP is easy just add lots of dirt and grime till you can't even see the name of flag on it. At least the ones around Salem OR are
    all that way.
