Morning Don, how's it going? Did some final measuring last night, before I drill the dash out of the 68 cab. I want to make damn sure that 79 dash is going to fit, before I take the other out!

Chris, check the wiring on the starter relay on the fender well, the small wire that engages the solenoid on the 92 Mustang starter may be running hot all the time, keeping it engaged the the flywheel.

Morning Pat. Things are OK here, and getting better! Had a meeting with all three LLC members last night. This is the first time they all were together for the last 4 years....

Had a great meeting and got some things straight that have been bothering me. Harley and I now have more power (and responsibility...) around here. They told us they are very happy with the way we are running things, and want us to continue.

Steve and Gayle spent several hours here yesterday and Harley and I had a great time with them.

I'll admit, I was a tad concerned about their call for a meeting, but they wanted to let us know they are happy with the way we are managing the base, and wanted to make sure we were willing to continue. Not a bad day at all!

Morning Don, Pat and Allen. I'm about to head out to finish up a field project. Another day of installing potholes and watching concrete cure.

Going to be busy today myself. One of our instrument vendors has decided they don't want to sell spare parts anymore, and now they say they will do the repairs, sooooo.....

We are calling their competition, who we've worked with before, and they are more than happy to supply us with similar instruments, and they'll support us with spare parts.
