Wow Bob,
You seem to have certain advantages that us others will never have.
Can I place an order for a 3/8-16 Acorn Nut??  Delivery by Thursday
would be nice.  That is when I will be repairing my Mower Deck that
keeps burning up belts.  Oh, never mind I did get a 3/8-16 half nut
that should do the job.  :-)
