PS.  I have got a plenty of money over $70 & Drake pays his Tuesday so now dont send any more. as long as I am not needing any I will let Bruce guilt knowing he means to do as he said if he sells his building. I will tell you when I need any money. it wont be yet a while so dont you worry. for this winter. that wad stands me for a good long while.
