What is that fiasco that you speak of? I remember him and someone else logging on here a while back, just can't remember what happened.

Yeah, @skierrichie , I thought he was on here as well

Yes, It's fucking crazy there. They give out month long vacations for that

All about some silly fucking mittens....

That's what I was thinking, since it will not be directly attached to the roof, but 'float' over it on aluminum cross bar.
