Over another hurdle? by
Steve R.
Hi Kevin,
Great write up as usual! :-)
Glad to hear the approaches are getting better. Knew it would come though,
it was only a matter of time. That's got to be some kind of rush when it
finally all comes together. Congratulations!
Your first experience with settling with power sounds fun! ...
