Unfortunately the day got away from me due to some personal... adventures
(having to do with lack of air conditioning first and then lack of gas,
amongst a lot of other things going on right now...). I just got things
back online but, well, my day tomorrow is pretty well packed solid.  I
wouldn't complain if someone has a few cycles to push these, they look
pretty good to me but I won't be able to work on PG stuff again until
tomorrow night at the earliest.

Thanks!

Stephen
