Nothing too exotic, just basic a-la Vizard book.</div><div> Found it enjoyable though and will do it again. My engine machinist said I did a decent job of it so that was nice to hear.</div><div>What are you up to on the spridget front?</div><div><br><br>Cheers,</div><div>Andy <br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Wednesday, November 1, 2017, 2:04 am, CosmicMag1380 <cosmicmag1380@gmail.com> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv3570116795"><div><div dir="ltr">Hey Andy!
