You'll be building them next.
Nice progress Penny!
Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind

look up the thread on Wheel Wobble from just a few days ago. If someone can show you the basics

The Spokey (just below the VAR wrench) is a good one to carry with you on the trail and for
occasional use at home.
