Appreciate the correction friend. I wrote this one off of memory, and didn’t do my due diligence to double check myself. I was in a rush and clearly overly confident in my ability to recall things. Funny thing is you’d think I’d’ve picked up on it when I was uploading the pictures. Thank you for helping out.
