Now THAT sucks.  I may be facing a quick trip to upstate MI over the weekend, 
but I'll drive rather than fight with the TSA over the tools a broadcast 
engineer needs to take along, and that might put me in a position to stop for 
a few hours in Elgin.  We'll see how it plays out before I make any more 
positive pronouncements though.  I might be able to remote control some hands 
and eyes & fix it from here.
