For consideration
Hi Jerome,
Not to rain on the parade, but just a thought to pass along so you are aware....  My bet is he's going to do his magic with nobody around, without any distractions or anyone looking over the shoulder so all the details are taken care of for you properly. I'd recommend that starting party after he gives you the thumbs up. It will be worth the little extra wait. Getting closer...

I suspect so!
Yeah I suspect so, but that doesn't really count. It's like a tree falling in the forest, if you weren't there to see it, did it really happen? 
I'll make sure Tom approves of the time! 
It will be next week for sure!

P.S. Duane, I could use a few tips on the "Temp. Reg. crawl", until Jan.

jdog,
There's nothing like being there for the first crank. I have seen Tom's magic and his wand that he swirls over the engine just before he starts it. That's all I can say as I am sworn to secrecy.
Tom also has a very elite club called the “Flashlight Club.” There aren’t many of us but ask him about it. I think you qualify.
Very best of luck, John

What?
John,
Hey - He showed you the flashlight trick?! Man, and here I thought I was seeing something somewhat secret. Although, he did break out the green laser scope the last time I was there. It's truly an after-hours kinda thing though and it rarely comes out of its case. If anyone here asks him about it, he'll act like it doesn't exist or he has no idea of what you are talking about. Area 51 kinda stuff.

Dumbledore!
Kinda like "Dumbledore's wand", if you'er a non-believer you can't see it! 
I'll have to carve my own wand soon!
