hello Paul: I'm a bum lately,the shaft is fine. My best friend is having family desputes,his father had heart attach and heart surgery this wk- and I was the one in the icu for the last few days. I hate those places-they just bring bad memorys.(4-5 yrs ago my wifes parents died ,month apart.) But he is fine except for his son refuses to call,talk anything with Mom and Dad and the last son at home who's handicapped. The father has intrusted the family stuff to me(truste of his will )and this wk I got the news that my father has lycemia(spelling off ). won't know till after new yrs what kind if treatable or not. I even decided to send 3 shafts- will have them ready for a Monday shippment-so they don't sit longer than neccessary in the cold USPS. I leave for Amsterdam,then germany ,france by train till New yrs. Then home- thanks for being out there- I put a jacoby edge on a rebuilt schon by Jacoby- wow wow thanks mark
