That's an excellent question, Karl. I have the very same one. I don't
know what the answer is and I will defer to the gurus on it, but I sure do
plan on being out there to see if there is indeed a repeat of last year's
amazing ETA performance! Could we be so lucky two years in a row??? I
sure do hope so...
Clear skies to all, Paul in north Florida
