Man, you guys are killing me with how quickly you tied up all your flies. I'm the slow newbie, it takes me about 30 min/fly to tie. I've got two in the box right now.

Art, just realized I forgot to toss my money into the envelope. Do you have paypal? If not, can just toss into a regular envelope and send out tomorrow. Let me know.
