Hey Scott. Seems I got the direction right the first time. :) Yup drain was fuzzy. Seemed the same as plugs pulled from my 2 DK's, so that part seemed ok. Like no chunks. For anyone else curious, (for point of reference) slightly fuzzy pics of drain plug fuzz posted in my picasaweb album. DK vs AB I think.
