Is he still fully running? Maybe just slowing down for the Holidays? I'd really like to get this 243 AI project running.

TG why not send Redneck a PM? He's done some fine work for me as well as others on the board.

I typically just write some instructions and send him my action and barrel and he gets her done. I never had any luck getting him on the phone, either. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless
