[BC] new equipment...

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Jason:

I am the only person here and the mixer gets used about 3 or 4 times an hour
for 4 hours a day to simply slide the pots up and down.. Imverycareful not

days a week.

Trust me, the minute I can afford some better gear... I will definately do
so! I'm just trying to make this palce work with what I got
