Ken,

1.      I'm not altogether sure what my mother in law is, although there
seems to be a considerable amount of fabrication involved, and;

2.      How do you know what my shirt looks like? Or is the point that on a
day like today, it looks like shi[r]t, and I don't  mean stiffly pressed.

3.      I'm inclined to think you're right about LCC in this case rather than
TCSS; however, I may be able to get away with avoiding solder joints and
using only lock or other fabricated joints for valleys, hips and ridges.  How
do ya like them apples?

Hugs,

Ralph
