It's really a shame as it was one of my favorites. I guess it is karma kicking me for trying to fix what wasn't broken. Stuff happens and this time it happened to me.
Every time I make an upgrade/change, be it computer, car, household project or firearm, I tell myself, "a man built it, and a man can fix it/improve it."
Sometimes it takes longer to get there. Nothing in this life is easy, and nothing worth working for should be.
David is there to help, if he wasn't, I wouldn't have bought one. There are potholes in the road to greatness, you just hit one.
When everything is working again, it will continue to be a favorite.
Thank you for sharing your experience and keep your chin up, Birds. You got this.
