Well, you're making it slowly. Keep hitting PSN members across the south if you need a hand with more fixes - lets hope not - Got folks in MS, LA, FL just a shout away... Good luck with the rest of the beer drinking and a bit of driving...

Good to meet you and the Mrs. last night! Glad ya'll could make it out, hope my brothers and I didn't scare you guys too much, we spend way too much time together and we shouldn't be allowed in public.
Be safe!
