Hey Sam,

Joe here in the shop. Thanks for the note. You know, sometimes you just gotta smash and grab your way through those dark nights. Just like Teddy Roosevelt said-

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Anyways, you paid like 40 bucks for shipping, but I issued a partial shipping refund to knock it down to $15. Take heart. We are all unfinished, but life is good. And you can tell not-sleep-deprived Sam Ryan I said so too.

Cheers,
