o.k. now i screwed the pooch

Yeah, I'm somewhere out here................. With all the mechanical genii coming up, I'm sure we can get it repaired. You will need to drill out the broken end, tap and helicoil the head. If you don't feel comfortable doing that on your own, truck it on up Saturday and we'll get it going for you. We won't even snicker about bringing it up in a truck. Looking forward to meeting you.
