Hey, Jeremy

Just checked the tracking on UPS, package is scheduled for delivery today.  
Give your receiving guy the heads up   :--)

Gen mars will probably make the diff for you, did for me.  And as far as 
heat, if you are wearing gear with knee pads (you should be, ya know), the 
heat issue all but goes away.  Sargent or Corbin or Mayer seats will make a 
big different there.

I haven't been following this thread (sorry) so I may be repeating    :--)
