Is Thursday a weekend day 
I resent it in a different format this morning Jeff. Mine is showing Microsoft Visualization to open.
Thanks for all the help Bob Power out here most of yesterday so could not get back to this 
That would be awesome Larry. What time do you think? What do you have going on after that? Suzy was talking about getting a dinner going in Milford

You just might end up getting a room on the "East Side" and just stick around for the Woodward Dream Cruise!

We need plenty of pix of your tour, along with the obligatory photo of you and your engine builder! Hope that the rain is cleared out by the time you are on this side of the state. Drive safe and have fun you guys!
