[Shotimes] Upstate New York --- PLEASE HELP

[Scot Hewitt]

Joe,

Sorry for your misfortune.  Looks like it is just south of Albany, I'm all
the way at the west end of the state - Niagara Falls area.  I wish I could
help but I'm too far away.  Best bet is to probably settle up with the shop,
as others have mentioned.

Good luck.

Lewiston, NY
