Hey, that wasn't funny! It was true! I gotta print that out and take it to the field. Everybody will point to Flyswatter when they get to the launch technique. That is sooooo him![sm=lol.gif]

Why the heck did I type you're? It should be your. Also, antenna's should be antennas. I must have been tired when I wrote it.
