So I saved it in my barn for future use. For two years I've been moving stuff around it very carefully, always afraid of cracking or ...

Hope this isn't a double posting but I typed this out about a half hour ago, submitted it & it hasn't appeared yet. So here goes.... Last week a Garmin GTX-320A, Transponder, Serial No. 83807081, was stolen from my '46 Champ. They did a real nice job of removal & nothing else was damaged. So...
