Is your wife still out of town?
 
Good evening everyone! I got my Hellfire frag order and I'm impressed so far. They seem to be decent sized frags for the most part which I like. They aren't open fully yet as they are still mad from being shipped but I will get better pictures tomorrow.

I was impressed as well. The torches were mostly fully open within a few hours. Leptosteris looked like a puffy quilt and the Stylo was opening nicely though for some reason it seemed take the longest to fully open

Ya, she tried to get a flight but her cars in Akron airport and the next flight is the one that she is booked for on Friday. I told her to stay anyway but it’s driving her nuts.

Sending good vibes your way, Kevin.
