when i took the lower bolts out, one of them didn't come out all that
"clean" so i'm hoping that it holds. the other one was perfect so i jsut
tightened that one more. i'll deal with the partially buggered bolt when i
come back from the bbq. probably just drill it a smidge and tap the hole,
put a new bolt in and call it done.
