Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Brain Trust question

[scott saidel (scott_saidel]

Thank you - everyone- for the input. 

For the record NOT my barn - the wife’s horse’s trainers barn. 

We DO have a barn - Cavallino Farms - but it is down here, in town, and is only 
2 acres.  I get by with a standard home modem

The trainers barn is up in Ocala - the horse capital of the world - where land 
is still cheap and plentiful. 

Headed up in a few weeks when the new horse arrives - three haired western 
pleasure - for Charles and anyone else that might know or care.  Bring the 
drone to do some FPV flying can send pics if anyone wants to see. 

Thanks again for the help. I’ll be back once I try to install!!  Lol.
