Hey Rob

You might want to hit up the folks in the Va. FTE chapter to see if they have any suggestions, or maybe someone is selling something.

Hey Steve, how ya been?

checked - seem like nice enough folks, but their buy-sell section is just about non existent. I've been taking for granted how easy it is to find stuff in CA with so many people doing, building, buying, selling stuff.

Well I was born and raised in San Diego...as a Navy brat. But I moved away 19 years ago to TN...grrrr. Then met my wife here and have been here since. But working for DOD, I travel back to the Naval commands there on a regular basis.

Not bad at all Gary. Overcast and 65 degrees suits me just fine.

It will be interesting to see how a city handles losing almost all of it's city council, city manager, chief of police, and large numbers of committee members, in one fell swoop. The city manager is usually the brightest man in local government and is the one who gets anything done. Everyone else just sits and snipes at him/her.

I just got a quote for painting my 01 X, $4500.00! Keeping it black, a smal ding or two to fix and that's it. The clear coat is shot on the horizontal surfaces. Does'nt that seem high?
