Thx for the advice and kind words as well as the info about insurance evils; guys. Looks like I can get a patch job for the interim so I can make track day. Then deal with the real repair over the winter.

Milke - I will likely take you up on the glass; cause I wanna have it put in asap, and it will need to be pulled again after for the repair, which will likely break it.
When can I come out to your place to get it?
