Vern, I plan on stopping by after work (> 7PM). I can be there
until you kick me out doing whatever you find me useful for.

> Ok, since so much was done after I posted the last punchlist, lets see
> about what we have left to do:
>
> 1) Rework gun mounts (again! arg!)
>    - Swap inner/outer guns to give more vertical movement
>    - Paint all "new" parts (raw wood)
>    - Solder solenoids to solid core wire and punch down into RJ45s
>    - Add "ball retainers" to ends of barrels (very thin plastic)
>    - Decorations (yellow warning stickers, paint, etc.)
>
> 2) Smoke barrels
>    - Drill holes and use hose clamps to affix to shoulder board
>    - Check silver dryer vent pipe distance to smoke machines
>    - NOTE: if "inner" gun is "low" can smoke barrel
>      go back to low/outside? hmmm
>
> 3) Air manifold construction (teflon tape)
>    -attach 4x female NTP on 3' hoses
>    -attach 2x female hoses to 2-way manifold block (left gun)
>    -attach 2x female hoses to 2-way manifold block (right gun)
>    -attach coiled air hose to 2-way manifold block  (left gun)
>    -attach coiled air hose to 2-way manifold block  (right gun)
>    -attach 2-way manifold block to end of both coiled air hoses (L&R)
>    -attach male NTP to 2-way manifold block
>
>    Warning! ASCII ART ahead! :)
