ALSO hopefully having a
Summits on the AIR event on

we are requesting: if you have a truck with extra seats ,
drive it to this evening, so you can give rides for those
with no truck, the road isn't bad, but not really made
for cars. we will be leaving the bottom at

coax. mostly probably not more than 20 or 30 feet,
some might be longer...

This test Pattern has circles,
not ovals, if you see ovals, chances are your windows settings are
incorrect for your monitor. |
PLUS:
if you have a
gas
furnace , hot water heater,
fireplace insert, anything that uses combustion
you need a CO detector |
