    Wow, I am totally happy that I scored this super cool Aes Graves example!!

    Yah, these sweet big babies are amazingly awesome ...

    Note, I am attempting to start this thread using my wife's iPad thingy ... so this may be a total fail?

    Ummm, if I'm unable to figure it out, you may be getting a fix tomorrow once I'm back at my work computer

    Awesome coin @stevex6 and nice pic. ;)

    tip. To post image from iPad or any tablet. Open the image - hold your finger on the image until the pop up window comes up - push the copy image address - copy the image address into the picture thingy icon - drink a beer... oh wait was that the last step?
