Nice report!

Not sure if Rogers et al up offer a prepaid monthly plan or similar,
but wouldn't that, and a new SIM card be obtainable w/o a Canadian
address?  (hopefully I'm not misunderstanding how the tech works)

The ShureFlo is a nice pump upgrade. I also found a foot switch to be
of great use too.

Thanks for the report on the upgrades.

Neil.
