Whew!

That was easy.
That's certainly AN interpretation of what I wrote, but I'd suggest that you "re-center" your Cobra, keep making it more "pure" because dementia seems to be seeping in for you.

So if that is AN interpretation of what you said then drop the other shoe and tell us what the correct interpretation of what you said is. Why rely on people with dementia to interpret what you said?

As far as my Cobra is concerned it is as pure as it can get short of being an original Yep. Pretty sure about that.

Scary as it may sound to some of you who know my history with "REAL 1", I agree 100% with the above statement.

I guess I have to ask...
When was the last time anyone saw an early 4000 or a Kirkham for sale other than the typical auction houses, and even then on a very rare occasion?
