It'll be out Monday morning!! I sure hope this doesn't ruin a good friendship!:rolleyes:
The anticipation builds ... even more!!!

I'm open to what ever the general consensus is. Mines ready to go.

Complete by April 15th. Shipped to be received by May 1 ? Easy for me to say ... I've only got two rods in production right now!!!:rolleyes:
It's really up to you guys, I'm pretty flexible.
Got mine, too!! I posted it's arrival over on the first thread. My mail person no longer need live in fear!!;)
