Jeremy,
Not much to offer, just wanted to make sure you got some advice in
light of the AOHell thing. All I've got to say is to make sure that it's
all in there. It sucks to have to tear it all down after you look to see
there's a shim you missed (can you tell I'm bitter). I guess this qualifies
as my Dan Hughes Day story too, doesn't it? Good luck and have a ball. I
remember how much fun we had on the B before it was stolen.
