Geoff Keyes 695 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Nice job! I know just what you are going through, I got my JS last June. Try not to overheat your brain between now and then. Geoff "The worst day smithing is better than the best day working for someone else." I said that. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly. - - -G. K. Chesterton So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy. Grant Sarver Link to post Share on other sites
