Watch the verdict + the $50 redemption trap before you apply:

Good morning. Unfortunately I will not be able to do the livestream at noon, I have had to go out of town for a family emergency. We were blessed that the emergency was not as much of an emergency as feared, but it has me out of town for a few days. I hope everyone is ok and I look forward to getting back with you.for our Sunday noon get together next week. Thanks.
