Thanks for the reminder Garry.  I was rather pre-occupied with a work 
project last nite, so my mental clockmaker-machinist cap was in the corner 
collecting dust.....I played around with ARGO for a half hour this morning 
and worked up an ARGO calibration visual and text checklist to refer to for 
when my head is preoccupied processing other stuff....

Somehow the process of doing that helps it stay in my head...
