If you want, I can take that 7.3 off your hands so you do not have to deal with not hearing it run.....I will not even charge you.

Courtesy and hospitality are checked at the door as soon as you enter the bay area.

And of course, I live in the polar opposite form the liberal Bay area....the ultra conservative bible belt where people walk around with their cheeks clenched so tight you can sharpen pencils in their hind ends.
