[pianotech] Frozen nose bolt question,

[Terry Farrell]

Hey, I've got a big freezer on my back porch - just pulled a nice  
tenderloin out of it today to defrost. So I know all about frozen!

And BTW, I worked outside drilling water wells in northern Michigan  
for the better part of ten years before pianos - winter, splashing  
water, northern Michigan - do you really want to lecture me about  
frozen?!?!?!?!?  ;-)
