That little electric fireplace was really cool - I have stories of some Splitties having woodburning stoves in them. Maybe Jeff was after that. I can tell you that Jeff's "Bus BRR Nut Brown Ale" would have had everyone going to Andy's accordian music had you guys been there!

Missed you guys and hope your opportunities all pan out!
