Worked. 
 
Then met Voltron, VPI, Stretch and Ian for dinner at a little Irish pub in Manchester, NH.  By strange coincidence Al and Jeff were in town on the same day so a few of the locals (ish) rallied to show them a decent time.  Just got home and have to say: a) Al knows how to travel even with TSA restrictions and  damn, his JH13s would make JEM proud.  They are truly, truly, truly outrageous.
