It may be too late, Shawn, to tell your tale of three sheets to the Chesie!
It sounds like a Micro-Brewer gone wrong, but the Baker Boys have a story
about laying out the Chesie in three sheets of plywood. (a scotsman's delight)
Dunno where the reference is, but Shawn will tell, if he hasn't gone down the
river on us..... TNX, Scotty
