Different question about heater bars

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Terry... Am born and raised American. Born in Loup City Nebraska, lived in
Buffalo NY for a spell, then out west to Whitefish Montana, ending up in Seattle
Washington before moveing here. I moved here for love... grin.. aint it often
the way it goes.. met a girl in Tahiti whilst working aboard the UW research
boat MS Thompson. Course there is a lot in between and several other stopoffs
inbetween. Once I got here, I found my home. Norway just plain suits me...cant
put it any other way. Its like one gigantic national park. You ought to come and
visit some day.
