Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi UNH,

I am fairly open tomorrow - I'll be doing chores and
running around.  My number is 507-281-8805.  The only
other person that may answer the phone is my wife
Theresa.  We do have a machine on the line, so if no
one answers by te 4th ring - hang up or leave a
message.  I'm in Minnesota which is on Central time.  
I would think anytime late afternoon on would be safe.
