Thanks. Yeah, I'm always down to hang out as time allows. As soon as I'm fully up and running and tuned, I'll be hitting up a lot more meets and get togethers.

Doing it right is my goal, though I don't always get it right on the first try. It seems that every time I cut a corner, it comes back to bite me. I hate half-assed work.

This is good advice. I bought an AN wrench because they are designed to not mess up the edges of the fittings like normal wrenches, but it still occurs. I sometimes used electrical tape, but the felt seems more robust. I'll have to try that next time.
