Steve

Is this repeat week on ATR ?

No.. Having a strange tech issue.. FL can hear me but I can't hear anything back... Working on it.

Forever Utopia in the 3rd is interesting, slight cutback and 2nd time off the layoff, swapping brothers in the irons......angles that are appealing if the value hangs around and it should based on the spa record. good luck today Steve!!

Steve,

Did you hit the late PIC 4? Looks like you had them all.


Mike

No.. Needed the 4. Left that and P5 dangling but still a good day. Hope everyone did well.
