Good redneck engineering .. that should work

It ain't crazy if it works...

Would I live with this if this section were permanent? No. But since the goal is to get 1 year max outta it and JFRTM, I'm moving on.

Well yes. Unfortunately the rules states quite clearly that since you hacked it together quickly, this must be in use for a minimum of five years.

No, just a slacker planning to force himself to get back to work (eventually).

Lol, no. They're the remains of the Guthrie Grain I was using as a stand in for Ohio Blenders on the old layout.

One of Terri's close coworkers came down with Covid, so we're not going anywhere this weekend, which means that by monday I should be JFRTM!
