It always amazes me how works seems to come in cyclic spurts, it's either all or nothing....and how the spurts always seem to happen when I go out of town.  Well regardless, I am back in the shop for a while and now can start checking projects off. 
So, I apologize if anyone was trying to get a hold of me or purchase adapters....I was in Chicago for a couple of days.  I did manage to hit a couple of the local museums and take in some of the sites.  However, I do not recommend going to the south side of the city...it's a bit rough.  Other than that, the "Chicago Style " hotdogs are amazing!
