block stringing delay

[Farrell]

I've never waited two months either, but if I were you, I'd just string 
away - get your torque wrench out and test the first few pins just to be 
sure - but I suspect any old-wives tales about needing to pound pins within 
20 minutes of drilling will quickly be dispelled (especially if it has been 
kept in a mild RH environment).

But I could be wrong.

So test!
