Congrats, man. Great honor. I am sure it is being well placed. Have fun down here and go chase a gator or two - - that will toughen you up.

Another meeting tonight - - every night this week. Oh well, glad I am needed and can help.

Only three or so hours of sleep last night - - hopefully tonight will go better - - feeling some better, so I will shut up and sign off. Have a great night, gang.

I've bled that thing with a power bleeder and it STILL feels like air is in it. I'll try your suggestion tho, thanks.

Good question. I haven't heard from her since she got back home from here. Hope she's ok... or hasn't killed anyone!

Did you even bother to go home last night? You were here pretty late.
