Ralph, the 4Ti is only worth about $25 nowadays, but being a big softie and an
enabler, I will relieve you of such an antique by paying your repair bill plus
shipping. For convenience you can ship it to my address in Brampton, Ontario
and I will pick it up later this month. And I will even cheer for the Lions to
win the Gray Cup once I am assured it is in the mail, as well as predict that
the Canucks will go undefeated against all opponents this season.
