Time for an update

August 4, 2017 Travis Searls

If you are reading this then you know that I am doing a little work on the LPS site trying to make it look a little more modern. I still have quite a bit of work to do but I hope to finish it up in the next week or so. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or what you think of the new look.
