I'll wave on the way past you. Erie is my midpoint stop both ways.

Potentially of interest to anyone looking to build a system for one of their kids, or to set up a secondary system to experiment with (you can do a lot with VMs these days, but not *everything*).

BTW, I'm leaning pretty heavily toward the neck medals. I've placed an inquiry about engraving them - I'm guessing there will be something on the back...

That's best case. If you're doing it at rush hour it may take an hour+ longer than that.
If you're just planning to drive out to Holland the morning of, traffic shouldn't be bad.

You do realize that rings hollow, with myself and Cap'n Ned attending, right? I'm making it a five day weekend to allow myself enough drive time, and I have no idea how Ned is going to drive that.
(Mostly just funning on you)
