[ADXA] new hex beam rotator

[J. Setcer]

I am very happy to see that at least a few guys on here have a sense of

Sometimes I go for days thinking CRUD, Those guys are too serious about
having fun.

My thinking is, Buy some clothes pins. Leave it low enough that your Wife
can hang clothes on it to dry.
