Jim, I will for sure come down in October, cant wait! The Robart air valve does what it is suppose to do, It really helps soften things up a bit. The ESM retracts- I got them because of following your thread- THANKS! They work sooooooo good! As for your daughter, That makes me very happy she is doing well. I will keep her in my prayers!!!!!!! I will call you in the next few days, as I have some questions about the Zero. I will also leave my number. THANKS JIM. GUYS LIKE YOU and the others I have seen on this site make this hobby a true Blessing. FRANK VITALE Saint Louis Missouri 63137
