i need to go condition leather. andy i need to borrow the rugrats...going to have them jump all over the seats for a few hours to break them in. the driver seat is coming back to life nicely, but the leather on the other seats needs to be "massaged" back into proper suppleness.

Oh no, I am certainly not wearing them yet. I don't start pulling that stuff out until I am going to be spending multiple hours on end out in the cold and wind. I will still only be in a sweatshirt and regular jeans or work pants otherwise. Plenty of heft and burl here

I am currently accepting resumes to look over in hopes to one day hire an electrical journeyperson. Any LOCAL guys that you know of that are out of work, that can talk to customers, and can be left alone on jobs, or given a handful of work orders and sent on his way, can send them to.....

streamlineelectric *AT* comcast *DOT* net

Thank You.
