Training in Buxton, New Features, Correction, etc

Another great training session at Greg C’s today in Buxton.  In attendace was Greg Curatola (of course), Anthony Curatola, Mark Vieira, Jeff Neal, and I.  John Cervantes couldn’t make it, after working all night restoring power (lineman) to parts of the area due to wicked high winds all day.  (did I just say wicked?  Ayuh.)
I’d [...]

‘Remember When’ with Rob Vigeant Jr.
