[TPR] Final Preps

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I would say I've had some help from God in all this.  No matter what 
others may think, a bit of prayer, a bit of patience and a bit of having 
God help me out in the garage has worked wonders.  I pray it continues 
to go well over the course of the event and that I return home safely 
with no troubles (or minor ones if any).

:)
