Lesson 587

This lesson was written on June 16, 2024 using psp12.

This lesson was conceived and written by me. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
I use a color scheme in my lessons. I list the colors by noting the color number in the color box in the color scheme.
Main tube is from
Other materials are made by myself, this will have mpd© behind it.
