[AT] 430v update

[Cecil Bearden]

Spencer:

We were supposed to get some rain here in OK today, even predicting 
hail.  I had to get the tractor shed cleaned out so my wife's new car 
could go in it!!   it is 1/2 the price of my new Belarus, but go 
figure....     Supposed to get some ice here in a couple of days 
too...    Gotta love OK !!  I was going to say that don't be too 
concerned about the tubes getting wet after you have split them.   Water 
is one of the best penetrants around...It works great on rust....
