dear wolfie buyers
i have a program called aperture -
it is a photo processing program with a loupe to view up to 1600 %
i went up to 200% before it started to pixilate
the starboard side looks very very clean and pristine
the port side has much dirt and use --
interestingly the starboard door panel looks as though it were removed or
folded roughly by someone with little regard to proper procedure
anyway ... simply commenting cause i am resting form moving --
i should really shut my trap - but it is so hard not to chime in around the
virtual campfire
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
