Just in time, LynDoor™Industries is rolling out its QuackCommander® and BambiCommander® line of sub-marginal sporting and outdoor goods, which are considerably overpriced to compensate for any loss of supply encountered by any North Dakota tire burners who may also like to tramp through the woods to the warm glow of flare gas fires that light up the night sky.

Apologies.

I was mocking the North Dakota tire burner, but it did come off as disrespectful to your friend.

That's not mockery. Call it fond humour, I'm sure if he had a sense of humour he'd have seen the funny side.

It's the memories of those we love and those we helped along the way that lingers after us.
I'm sure we are all sorry for his passing, it will come to us all.
From my perspective you didn't really enthuse me with any tales of his achievments or tell me anything that helped me relate to the man.

I've just found their UK website... not seen it before.
Sorry if I came over as callous

Sorry Del, I knew his family & kids not his blood type......
