Evening Marv! The meeting was sweet! I had the engineers agreeing with me the whole time and disagreeing with the port guy. Made him look like a real fool. I almost felt sorry for him a couple times, almost...................lol

That won't stop the bureaucrats, though. They want what they want, and what is right be damned!

It actually might not be such a good idea to talk about base strategy here in a public forum.

You never know who else might be reading it.

Jus' sayin'.......

I haven't said anything I wouldn't, or haven't said to their faces, on here.

Not worried one bit!

They have been asking for my input, soooooo, I'll tell them what I think. If they don't like what I have to say, that's their problem.........

That sucks, Charlie..........
We just took our 96 Limited Explorer on a 1,300 mile trip over labor day wknd, it never missed a beat, didn't use a drop of oil or coolant, and got 23 mpg avg going over 5-6,000 ft passes in ID and Eastern OR and the Cascades twice. Never went much slower than 65-70 and 75+ in ID where it's legal.

Sounds like you may need a head gasket.

Good evening gang.

It was a long work day for me... 11 1/2 hours. It started early... I was out of the office before 6:20 am and didn't get back until after 5:30 pm.

Tomorrow is the big ladder day. But tonight I'm beat and going to bed.

Night all.

Good morning Tiny, Don, and the Oregon crew, TGIF! Only working 1/2 day today, finally getting what's left of the 79 parts truck off to scrap this afternoon.
