weekend puzzler????

[Avery Todd]

Hi Jim,

   Sounds like something got bent and is now rubbing/binding on something
else. Am I warm? Like maybe the pedal pin? Did the bottom board get
damaged in the move?
   This sounds like it should be so simple. :-) Hmmmm.

mailto:atodd@uh.edu                 I'd rather be over the hill
                                         than under it.
