Usually when something like that happens I check my calcs; it's a sure sign that something is wrong. 🙂
Wow - I would buy a lottery ticket immediately!

I had a three inch junk tree about one inch on my line yesterday. My machete carved a notch to see my point. I could not have done that with a chunk of steel! Enjoy the limelight. It is indeed rare!B-)
