[CAUT] Tightening Screws as part of regular maintenance

[David Vanderhoofven]

Hi Alllen,

I forgot to add everything up!  So here are the totals.

Case Screws              - 214
Action Screws            - 335
Undercarriage Screws -  87
Grand Total                - 636

Thanks for the suggestions about not tightening plate screws in the winter 
from Ed Foote and the tip on FileMaker Pro from Wim and the two screws I 
missed from Lisa Weller.  I will try not to be too compulsive!

Thanks!
