This is a personal project that I have been working on for a while now...thought it was time to share.
I use current HDW PP's imported via CSV into an excel sheet, than use that excel sheet to do the math I created and produce these cheat sheets. This is my handicapping....
Please check this out and let me know what you think......I want honest feedback. Please don't worry about hurting my feelings.
