I just got in after working outside the last 3 hours to take in the nonreplaceable elements of our display (the blowmolds) that I was concerned might be subject to damage.

If we… Read more: Bruce is back!
2020 has been a challenging year not only due to the pandemic which has impacted all of us, but due to the multitude of electronic issues I have had to deal with regarding our display’s equipment.
