This will be a busy month here, things are moving right along for us to get to start up. I'll be so damn glad when this thing is up and running!

Spent 2 hours last night getting the damn spindles off of the dana 44 I took out of that 79. What a pain!

It happened 6 years ago. The day the LLC signed the papers buying the base, five kids broke in and broke over 400 windows. Not pretty.......... They have just been covered with Tyvek all these years. We are replacing the windows in five buildings that are in the main entrance to the base right now...

We're only gonna do about 40 windows in the front buildings. Just want to make the base entrance look better.

So, do you get to "slack" today?
