Excellent!!!!! I want to give Eric, Austin & Bill a big thanks for
responding to my emails. You all was very helpful in helping me figure
everything out. The pictures look great and the way I wanted them!! I wrote
a script to loop through time and contour my shades the same as my first
time step. Here it is my script.
