Hey Sapper32 dude: are you going to do your operations according to an historical timeline or are you going to make up your own
operations based on the environmental conditions you actually experience? It's not important I'm just curious. Thanks for going to
so much trouble to bring this to us. I'll keep up on your efforts.
