Rory and Stephen, I should give you more than just 10 bucks for that help!!! For the 10 hours you saved me this weekend and the peace of mind that I know I'll be fixing the right thing - if either of you are ever in upstate NY please ping me cause I owe you dinner or something.
I'll post again here to the rest of you to confirm that this was indeed the issue after I do the work and test her out.
