Hey, Candie - what a great series you have going here. I love the set-up and the way you tie them all together. Pyro can be fun, but it can make for some hair-raising moments in theater...especially with inexperienced techies on the firing button. :D:D:D Thanks! - you've given me an idea for a new Hub!
