Fred: Station has two 12 ga sb.otgims for Skeet. We could probably 
use one if necessary, but there is a problem with so much equipment and 
people here. We have one and a half mist nets so a few more might be 
useful. We made a plant press and are drjlng plants in the exhaust from 
the generators. Found some new ones.
