Scott,
Today wouldn't have worked since we are doing the Haunted Hotel and we have
been busy with repairs and tech all day.
Tomorrow would be a possiblity. Next weekend is also Haunted Hotel

Steve-
It is a bit late for today- I'd have enjoyed coming up
today! I'm not sure of my schedule for tomorrow:
hopefully running to Lancaster for my late Uncle's
radios... If not, would tomorrow be an option? I
should know later this evening. If I do go to
Lancaster, the next chance I have will be Friday.(Of
course I have USAF drill next weekend, and Parsippany
the following one)
