I don't want to be a Johnny Come Lately - I told you so guy but the reason the 3:55 for AD's work and the 3:38 for TF's work is because a thousand guys have been down this road before and Patrick was one of it's pioneers. They discovered the answers so don't be afraid to learn from the best. If there were better solutions Patrick would have those gears made up.
I know, I know, every generation has to learn everything on their own but this ground has been plowed so many times. Just pick up the phone and call Patrick. Talk to him, he's a great guy and an Inliners Hall of Fame member. So is Tom Langdon. Call him too. These guys have real knowledge.
Yes I am an Inliner's member, fan and booster and I urge all of you to locate your local or nearest Chapter and join too. Need help on who and where?...just give me a shout. This site is a wonderful resource and I am priviledged to help out with it but nothing beats the face to face interaction of a real conversation with a real person. (not to mention seeing their truck or car)
