Amazing ...

Ed,  I don't just feel ~good~ about my humble skills, I feel Great!  I guess I should feel grate-ful for tech's like that.  They make a lot of work for me.

I wouldn't let a cheap trailer out of my shop with wire terminated like that, let alone something with an aviation application.

Amazing.
