Thank you Mike. I like the idea of not drilling a 5/16" hole through the
bottom longerons.

Thanks Gene, wish I was as far along as you so I could worry about
electrical stuff.

Subject: | UPDATE - don't grab your hot exhaust! |
great news!! my hand has healed faster than you can believe!! It's simply amazing.
I have full range of motion and am able to use my hand about 90% to it's
capacity. It's only been a little under a week.
The key to it all is the burn cream the hospital gave me. Amazing stuff! My blisters
shrunk up and were almost non-existant by yesterday. I still have no feeling
in the affected area but overall it's looking very good. I was off the
pain killers the 2nd day. (good too cause now I have some extras <wink>)
I'm so relieved because the thought of not being able to use my right hand for
a couple weeks was killing me.
