Cucumber tek revisited

[Harry]

can anyone post the final version of the Molly Tek (a.k.a. cucumber tek)
again. It seems to be gone from my news server and I didn't get all the
details the first time around.

Thanks for the great posts Molly, I'm happy as I can be for your cat. 9
lives and 8" shrooms... what a life.

quite alright... I'm sure Molly loves reading about HER tek on here
I know I would... I'm just not that inventive, although I have quite a
few plans for the future now from all the recent tek mods that have been
flying all over the place recently so maybe soon I'll have something for
everybody

well when your cat finally gets the time to try out her new found glory
remind her to keep that in mind... that she's done her part to help out
the mushroomin community... maybe the mushroom gods will shine down upon
her and grace her with a most wonderful trip
