Brock, I'll be placing an order here soon. I am supposed to be having dinner with Gregg Ritz next week and my brother has already discussed the SS with him. He has never heard of it, and is intrigued. I have a good feeling you will be selling one to him and the Horton team members in the near future:smiley_clap:
That's cool stuff right there!
