Thanks for jumping in and suggesting something concrete!
I bet that's what we need.

Right.  I'm not sure how much clock-time any of this will take,
but I have a pretty clear plan for about three lessons, and
the TTL protoboard step is the first.  When David and I went through
it, it took some extra time because we were still scrounging for parts.
We probably took two hours, and I left him with an extra-credit homework
puzzle.

I think we have the parts.

I do more traveling now that I'm retired.  I plan to be out-of-town
for that whole week, roughly Apr 27 - May 4.  In general I can be
available almost any day/time of the week.  So, how about Thursday May 7?

Moving the time away from the high-commotion Tue and Wed evenings
seems like a good plan, assuming the interested people can make it.
