Damn...wish you were closer and my Uncle..I'd buy you case of American Beer :-X and ask you to do mine! I retired with 33 years in the federal govt and saw a bunch of pampered employees... BUT then again some really hard working ones also!

I never tried one of those wheels. I'll have to give it a try next time. Do you use a specific brand or just some generic ones?
