"Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It's all I ever want to hear
It's music to my ears"

Greg, at what time do you think you will be able to take a look at 58.. Sorry if I'm stressing you or something but three brains are better than 2 and as me and Melodyktn said.. we are stuck :)
 
  • #1,839
well, if it's like the grim reaper riddle, then I should be able to knock it out pretty quickly, but again, I haven't had too much time to look at it, and I won't have much time to look at it after work because I have some plans to take care of... but I'll try to look at it while I'm here
 
  • #1,840
