Good advice! I think I will button up this redo on TB, Plenum, Runners and
see how it does then take next steps.

Maybe that sorts it out, hopefully! Will still poetically work towards a

something. Waiting on it unfortunately (hey Ron, can I get an update on
shipping? anxious over here :)

Thanks again for the help, this list is awesome! I'm buying everyone's
beers this weekend!
