Hi Bill,
Your post prompted me to ask you a question. You mentioned that you'll add checking the hood fixings to your list of things to check each season...Do you actually have such a list?
I would'nt mind compiling a maintenance list/schedule and if you already had a list it might give me a headstart?
I take delivery of my new SPF in the next couple of weeks, so as you can imagine....I'm all excited and pumped up with anticipation!
Regards.....Paul
