Tom & Dan - I appreciate the encouragement. I've been a little frustrated with my situation for the past couple of days, but it genuinely helps to know you all care!
As a side....
I did something I said I wouldn't do anymore. I ended up ordered FOUR 511's, because my wife liked them (she prefers the older handle style to the newer mudder and I won't let her use my safe-queen DM).
I'm excited about getting the new steel - its something to look forward to.
