Claude said wait till he gets old and his sholders are wore out. Probably a reason most cavemen were old and dead around 30 years old. ;D ;) hell, He's already losing his hair.

You guys done lost me. The only feller I ever seen using wood is James Parker. Well, Steve used em some that year but not much and they got rained on and I remember James complaining about that, heheheh. Anywho, I can attest to the fact that they work but can't answer your question - good luck..
