Geez!  You guys and cheap beer!  Life's too short to drink cheap  
beer.  Only some good beer will do the trick.

BTW, I have two flights on my Focus since October and those were last

almost two months.  If any of you Master class pilots are scared by  
oldsters, who are essentially one-eyed, I'm your worst nightmare.
