McKnight Road is just around the bend, and there's plenty of shopping there to keep her busy ;)

Check out the google map. The shop is point "G" because it is considered a shopping center...

Post by: schwarcw on December 19, 2009, 03:26:47 PM: The snow is kicking my ass! :'( I'm coming from Monroeville which is usually not an issue as the highways are well maintained. However, the side streets are in bad shape. My hillside street is deep in snow. I may have to bag my visit. Damnit!

Spent the day installing a new PS board in a Dynaco PAS2 and recapping the PC boards with orange drop caps. Ended up with one extra wire in the end and no instructions on where to solder it to. Oh well, the PS board builder is thinking about the issue.
