SKEETER meets OCTANE GUY

Just made an appointment for 10/26 with Richard, so Skeeter and I will be making the trek down to his shop and see if I can learn a few tricks.

Taking the 362 mile trek does not make me an OCDer does it ?

No not at all. Now if you were to drive 724 miles that would put you over the top.
Love to see some before/after shots. I'm sure Richard will give us a write-up too.
Enjoy.

We have rescheduled the appointment due mainly to the fact that the fires are making traffic a nightmare from up north to where I am.

Ya just my luck.... but hope all in the fire areas are safe and fires are all out soon. Have a neighbor that is a firefighter and one of engines and crew from his
house headed down last evening, wish all firefighters a safe return home.
