Good Morning Sir,
As of yesterday, it was still out with two components; I did have some traffic last week that they were working on it, but
nothing since.
I'm teleworking today and out tomorrow, so I don't have access to the secure networks. I'll check again Monday and
hopefully have a better update for you.
Thank you for your patience,
