Hi Bryant,
Sorry, I rjust noticed that I responded to the no reply email address. How does 9/10 work for you? That is the Open House at Packer Field from 11a on. I'll be there late afternoon but there will be eats and drinks and Stearmans, etc hopping free rides.

- Thanks Bryant! I'd advise converting to a CP-65 if you can, but I am enjoying my LP-65 even with the 0145 B-2.
