part of my problem was that the interface on one router was addressed as
a /30 and the other was a /24 - however, that didn't fix everything, with
just the static to 10/8, it still breaks, but i put a very minimal eigrp
config on and it is 'working'.  i have been needing to design and 
configure an effective eigrp or ospf network, guess this will add some
extra motivation.
thank you to everyone that replied, i appreciate the help.
