Hey Panama Jack Off,

How's it going there in the great white north? Things down here are heating up,
yet still very cool! My nephew Cam sent me this e-mail message today. If you
get a chance, I suggest that you send it to the hash both far and near. Hope to
see you and the rest of the H3SOB, VCH3 and OSMH3 pack soon, perhaps Mother's
Day weekend...

On-On!

Weed Whacker

PS. Please keep an eye out for Stale Mate's yellow bunny goblet!!!
