attempt on those parts, it will create less descent within TLG. Make it
an easy order for TLG to fill.

Rather than buying a bunch of buckets to part out to make money to try to come up with enough to try to persuade TLG into doing this (which is what I THINK I'm hearing Jodi suggest) I'd say we draw (...)
