Sorry about that, Mike. I also agree, most group buys linger/drag/fester/never end... 
Also, just an FYI:
I was a little thrown by the calibration fluid. It doesn't come with any instructions, and when I used it to calibrate, my new refractometer read 1.024 and my old one read 1.028. I had assumed it would show 1.000. I did a little searching, and found that the 53.0mS is actually a measure of salinity (duh, me), and converts to 35.00ppt or 1.0259 specific gravity. Just wanted to save everyone else the confusion.
