Congratulations!! I'm not sure whether or not our VE group is setup for remote testing. I do know that we use Zoom for a lot of things, Club meetings (board & general), and just general stuff.

ONLY $2000? I lost track a long time ago.

Talk about extreme boredom. I am on day 44 of "working" on the California wildfires. My job is deliver the dozer and then wait until they need to move it again. I was "staging" at the same location for over a week, going to base camp every night for a hot meal and a shower. The owner of the dozer I am hauling on this trip brought his travel trailer for us to sleep in. I know very much about boredom... zzzzz  zzzz zzzz
