Barb, I am a nice guy to work during vacation (somewhere west of Peoria, IL), but then I can pretend it's a "paid" vacation. It gives me something to do while my wife and her sister go shopping <grin>. I, too, have a bit of concern over not having the right tools with me (though a bit of baling wire and popsicle sticks can go a long way). Thus the ad for someone in the area for referrals.
