It worked for me and a lot of other guys I know, and there's no one else I'd rather have next to me when it hits the fan than an Alaska 135 guy. Akpilot29 I assume you're at little Ace from what you said, get your time and let me know when you need an internal, I'd rather sit next to you than any of these crusty, up hill to school each way, condescending, know it all old dudes any day of the week.
