Rob ... that "Awesome" works well ... to the point it makes me not want to know what is really in it :) I also use "Simple Green" frequently - it works well even if it is not quite as "Green" as the manufacturer's marketing would have you believe.

I allways factor in the worst case situation so that if things do turn out bad you are still in the green.

I'm thinking I need to look to Ohio or someplace, green looks greener over there!

Thanks for the welcome Dick Green.

He solidified that for me as the best strategy.As a side note, one book I read said they liked bright neon green.

We are so dang green we have no idea lol.
