Thanks for the words of encouragement guys, I do look forward to being able to relax and have fun for a few days! It's just that this is probably the only time I'll go due to the distance and cost, so I want to do it right if possible. But Sonya agrees with you that I need to take some deep breaths.
Sue I should be able to take care of your cap no problem, I'm traveling sometime in the next few weeks so I'll just take it and the Dremel with me. (It'll give me something to do at night in the hotel.) We should be able to put it on with your rack in place, the trick is to loosen the other three covers and unbolt all the brackets so we can lift the rack on one side.
