Hehe - that I am

By the way Wayne, while my wife and I are there in October, she offered to let me have a "free day" to head out exploring/hiking with you or whoever is up for it. Not sure you'll be there during that time frame (Oct. 21-30), but if you are, I'd be happy to join you guys too.

Hi Paul:
Without a doubt.Three's a good crowd out there.Would love to make it four,if we could drag Jim away from his dusty old mines and stuff for a bit.I will E-mail you and Kurt a when and where if I can make it during that time frame.I should be clear.We have been asked to submit a design/engineer/manufacture proposal for a new gen APC for the US Army,but that is due Oct.1 and it's mostly being handled by sales and engineering at this point.I don't expect to be directly involved until the proposal has been accepted and the paperwork signed.That part of the process will take some time...it took almost two years from proposal to 1st delivery for our Army 20k and about the same for our Navy 32k telehandlers.We had heard some time ago that one of the 20's was involved in an IED incident.Damage was described as insignificant.Someone in sales has photos,apparently.I'll see if I can get one to post.

Regards:Wayne
