Rossi really doesn't want to do any more of these time-wasting demos, and spending time setting one up, making sure it's working properly, etc. so he just reduced the flow rate and cranked up the heater power... got it started before Steve arrived and all was good. Can't say I blame him... I'd be getting pretty tired of the dog-n-pony shows too, and just wanting to focus on making sure the Oct date is a success.
