Hello again Lincoln, Just a quick follow up to answer a question I got: This is NOT a time-sensitive request. So, if you're doing a basement cleanup or preparing to move and you happen to find an old zombie-apocalypse prep kit from 15+ years ago with an old can of tuna in it, please let me know any time over the next year or so. Thanks again for keeping a lookout!
Hope you're all having a great fall weekend!
