Im sure you body guys would know. Thnx alot

But yeah I might do that thnx.

Plexi scratches very easy - try finding "Lexan" or ploycarbonate.

Ahh Stockton ya its hot as hell .. was 105 yesterday, 102 ish today. Same ole place just more crime & Trashy people now. I just like the location, 2 Hrs from alot of nice beaches, 2 Hrs from the moutains & Tahoe area, 1 Hrs from San fran, or sacramento. Cool delta breeze at nite .. so the heat is not all that bad, it cools way down when it comes time to sleep at least. And if you live in North Stockton like I do .. most people are Job holding middle class normal people .. its Just the Trash come to North Stockton from other parts of Stockton to steal from us. I say kill them all!
