I am out. Family decided to throw a birthday party for my son this Friday night. Unless I can figure out a way to have my son delivered Saturday some time I won't be there at all.

I would meet half way on the road if we are to do it. At the moment consider me out though.

No worries, just let me know.
It has been decided. I will be up there about dark time. Lol. Unless I can get out of work a little earlier I will be there about 6ish. I will then have to leave about 11 to pick up my son to go where he picked out. The pine cobble trail in Williamstown.
