Thank you very much Jonathan. Yeah, the driving part sucks but I spend enough time locked down in a cube that it doesn't bother me that much :)

Leave the DOUBLES OF EVERYTHING down with Shirley. You can "ZIP" stuff up as you need it or even "LEAP FROG" pieces. Also, try not to let your 2nd set of aiders "Drag" behind you as they are here. You may get in a very percarious spot and then they get stuck on a piece four moves below. You will then really regret being alive let alone in the situation that may be currently in!:(
I see that the "DA's" that Jim and Sandy put in over 20 years ago, are holding up! ;)
Good job!

"You may get in a very percarious spot and then they get stuck on a piece four moves below. "

Chief,
those are indeed great words of advice (&much appreciated) as I found out earlier on the route. A variation of this scenario led me to a static fall onto the daisy/aider set up (stupid, stupid, stupid of me!!). I also found out how the stitches in the daisy have almost no structural strength.

The DA's looked great - hard to believe they're from '86!
many thanks for the suggestions Chief.

Learning process!!! Just remember one thing about aid, regardless if it is Clean or Not, it is all a jigsaw puzzle that requires a systematic sequential routine. Once you have that routine down, BAM, the World is Yours! Guaranteed!
