Everything else I got for free so I guess that is not to bad, but damn.... I'll bite the bullit and get it and update Pics as I progress today. " I hope the wife doesn't find this reciept"

see Tipsy you have to send her to get the parts, in a short skirt and a low cut top.
Then tell her to pick out a pair of high heels to go with that outfit and take her to dinner.

SC I know my wife , that will cost me more than the parts...

But back on topic. I know you all are wondering how the game went. We wone 3 to 1. For and old man I can still run. After that I started the Boka. I had it on paper what I wanted but as it progressed I changed a few things. I went with a cold finger with a double helix, instead of just the doudle helix itself. I m running a 2" column and A 3" head. I went with this configuration so it will give the vapors a chance to expand and slow down which should help the reflux. I will post pics tomarrow on the steps and be giving credits to whom I used parts of therre designs. "I stood on sth sholders of giants" OH I also started a 30 gal of UJSSM. My wife thought that was the funniest part of the night. Im not a good cook anyways but once it started to frement she commented that I still make things smell like s@!t... My responce, " more for me..."
