Batman congrats on the grand baby. If you do not have skype you will. We get to see ours at least once a week if not more. Really like how things are coming along. Will have to ride out and see how things are coming first hand. You are one talented dude. You will be so happy with this thing it will not be funny. I love the short trips for breakfast on Sundays and then a short spin afterwards, it is a great short weekend getaway. Will give you a call and see if it is ok to stop out. Later Bat Dude will give you a holler tomorrow.
