Tonight, we'll take a look at what works and what doesn't, and what my final "verdict" may be. NOTE: There were some strange stream glitches in the last third of the stream. With the severe storms occurring in the area, I suspect there were some issues between my studio and YouTube. I have made a video from my backup recorder of the last half-hour of the show which includes the missing audio and video.
