94% is better than I thought, last I remember they were running around
90-91%. Maybe that was at higher PSI or just older generators. Purity isn't
as imortant as PSI when you're power heating anyway.

Another thing I forgot to mention in the cost comparison is the cost of
fuel. 20 lbs of propane is still under $10 and is the equivalent of 15, 100
cf bottles of acetylene though I don't have any idea what acet costs.

Mother's wanted to see fall in your neck of the woods for many years, it's a
family trip we never managed to make and she asked where to find you
herself.

I've already given them all the directions they'll need. Go to Marshfield
Wi. and ask anybody.

Once I know their itinerary I'll give you some warning though a Frost family
itinerary can be a hazy thing.
