[GreenKeys] GADZOOKS!!

[Paul Heller]

My my - with an introduction like that I can only disappoint you all! I am so looking forward to continuing the operation of ITTY into the future and working with all the fine folks who make it work so well every day. I probably should apologize now in advance for all the mistakes I am going to make. The new ITTY rack is at my house and shelves are being mounted for the equipment. George provided some authentic Collins made shelf supports along with the rack! Man that rack was heavy. My arms still hurt!

It was a real pleasure to meet George. His legend is only surpassed by his hospitality and willingness to help. It sure was funny to see him sleeping away in his van with the DVD viewer ON, headphones ON, and no amount of knocking on the window was going to wake him up. Thank goodness his cell phone had a ring that cut through all else.

ITTY2 has started the assembly phase!
