Unfortunately, it will take me about 2 hours to do the same later today 
and that's without doing the whole job.  I'm going to skimp today.  But 
I'll follow suit and have a Saranac Amber Ale when I get done.  Maybe 
I'll even try out the new 2GB card or the Ee-S Super Precision Focusing 
screen made for manual focusing that arrived today from B&H.  Probably 
needs a new set of eyeballs behind it to work properly.
