Well Warren,
I wish I had just driven to Brookline instead of Pepperell! When I got to my Dad's house hardly any of the work that was promised to be done was in fact complete, so it was pretty much a waste of a 3 hr drive each way (in my Wife's Subaru wagon - had I HAD the Cobra on a day like this..who cares).
Unfortunately I was at the house from 11AM - 4pm, so I missed out
