Double Aw, I am not sure I'm going to make it, certainly not with everything
I had story boarded or even sample anim's for.

I got my ground following vector math straightened out two days ago, but I

   Then post it in p.b.anims anyway... - I'm sure 'Gwinner' will
become a 'Winner'!

    It sounds good to me anyway. Good luck.
