Hi Froggy,
I'm sorry that I did not get back to you sooner with an answer for you.
The answer is NO, NO, & NO!
But, thanks for trying!

With everything said in the previous responses, it seemed like a gimme. Ransom got the engine; I suggest he be given the honor of posting the next challenge.

Ya, I didn't know whether to split the point evenly or not (a judgment call!), with such a good ID on the engine I wish he had made a guess on the machine ID.
I agree with your suggestion: I like your style.
Ransom E. Olds
Where are you?
You are in charge of B.C.F. Challenge #177.
If it is not possible, Please let us know.
Best Regards, FOKKERJ

It's not unusual for the guys to line up a Confirmed Kill for the "BIG ACE".
By the way, when does your Sanke card come out?

Hi Rbailey,
Ransom says that he is unable to take care of the B.C.F.C. #177.
So the ball is back in your court. If we don't hear back from you in this lifetime, I or another will take care of the duties.
Best Regards, FOKKERJ
