That's a large Prime. Well done Ricky. Let's hope he visits the forum soon.

Woah. Thats huge.
No wonder it took 59 1/4 hours to turn around.
That's some heavy duty dedication to the cause.

Persistence pays off.
You never know, the next one could arrive tomorrow.


Well done Ricky.
Very well done indeed!

As the rapper Eminem would say.... Will the real Ricky L Hubbard please stand up! Please stand up!

I was searching around on our team but don't find anyone by that name, so the nickname must be different... I wish I could tell who it is to be able to add him to our Wiki.
