Thanks to Garry, J.B. and Jay thus far for the positive "little Wolfie" 
reports. And thanks to JD for trying!

I'm going to leave it running overnight, and through the day on Friday. 
Will probably turn the wick back up for Friday night, as the TA 
prospects may not be hopeless. Other commitments on Saturday will keep 
me away from the shack.

John, W1TAG
