Curtis,

Darrin suggested the very same thing on the phone about three hours ago.  Come to think of it, I've never seen the two of you in the same room together.

hm.

I have not yet re-evaluated my half-shaft installation; I'll give it another look-see after work tomorrow.

Anytime is fine on 4/28 -- I can make an appearance at work and set off for Hopewell.  Just to remind everyone else, Ron inquired about a caravan to the Vair Fair; my office (Leesburg) is approximately equidistant from Ron (Sterling) and Curtis (Berryville).  From here we can take 15 to 95.  Other NVCC stalwarts might not find this arrangement as convenient, but you're certainly welcome to meet up.
