Greg, I'm back all in one piece. Lot's of hot sun. If the room offer is still on I'd be glad to share a room with you. As far as the Schaff visit is concerned, I can definitely relate to the low budget trips...been there done that on many of occasions. However my trip this year has a purpose as I am restoring some rather historical significant instruments and the ability to hand pick felts is paramount for making these projects great.
