Reminds me of a song...

"The shin bone's connected to the kneeee bone. The knee bone's connected to the thighhh bone...."


“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt

I agree...one of those inspections where you have to number all the panel covers just to know which panel they go back on. Also it can be dangerous enough in removing one cover....let alone all these but someone's gotta do it......and take pictures to boot...
