No problem Lloyd.   Mike had signed about 10 till the hour  and I was 
gone by the top of the hour.   Not that I would have heard you anyway, 
being too close, but  didn't hear anyone calling you, so  we were gone 
before you started.

Sounds like you had a blast.  Everyone from the list who has done this 
has really enjoyed it.
