I'm going to head down to avoid getting trapped up here. Flash flood watch is in effect for this island too. ___end___ PICS COMMENT: Sun May 7 22:05:49 GMT 2006 I checked the diffusers earlier but need more information from Boulder before I can spec a new diffuser size and ship the diffuser material back to them, probably on Tuesday unless someone wants to do it before my next day up here. They want to use the 10 degree diffuser material for both the CHIP and PICS. ___end___ Sun May 7 22:08:54 GMT 2006 MkIV
