Snicker, been there.  Finally got a decent box for the BBS.  Good thing as
now I run Battlenet (BRE league and they have a small FE set as well).

If we go that route, I got much you need!  Where you are, it didnt get hot
enough to need one for us but a fan was needed.  We can use our loaner AC in
another room.

As warned, our picnic was outdoors and a wee bit warmer.  We are now in the
last of 'for sure' temperate weather here.  May hit 50's or high 40's at
night.  Days running to high 60's on average for the high point.

EEK!

We put ours away when done with them. It's more a matter of finding them
later.

Hehe i barely cooked on my turn!  Just had stuff that first night for tired
travelers. My restraunt choice was ok but the service lacked. At your place,
I'd be happy with the same place we used!
