3/14/2008 Spring Happenings Greetings all and happy pre-Spring! For all of those wondering "where in the world are my Teflon bearings!?" well the wait is almost over! I heard from the manufacture today that they are just 3 weeks out so rest assured when I get em, you'll get em, and I'm very sorry for the wait. Thanks to everyone who have been so patient with me! Okay, onward - HyperTune anyone? Now taking shop orders for HyperTunes so get in while you can! (click here to order your service) Finally - as most of you know I run ScopeTrader.com, LXD55.com, LXD75.com and LX200.net and in an effort to bring everyone on the same page of support, I've added support options on ScopeTrader.com. If you are currently a member of ScopeTrader.com and chose to "buy up" into premium access there, you will also be supporting LXD55.com, LXD75.com and ScopeTrader.com - all in one. Take a moment to consider supporting me here I run this show alone :) Clear skies everyone! Richard Harris
