Wow, Chris. You do live an interesting live!
Your son may have a ready made mate - my grandaughter, Keira, was born 9/29.

Huh? Where does that come from? I've always thought of the RD1B from 
Real World Solutions as the most reliable part of my installation and 
the least likely to break. I know of zero airborne failures of RWS 
redrives, and one ground failure that was quickly rectified.
