Important

If anyone has a heatgun, please bring it with you. I ended up bending the flag pole that comes with the flags and I am able to attach the pole onto the top of the boot. You will all see on Sun.

I did my sway myself, and don't think it's too difficult with the right tools.

I didn't have a chance to collect all the tools & such needed for the sportlink job... I've been kinda slack about it. At this point, I don't think it's gonna happen. Unless someones willing to help with this rather involved install, I'll probably leave it until another time.

Weather will also be an important thing to watch. Maybe I'll just sit around and eat lots of Key Lime Pie!!! I too, am a lover of "ze key lime pie".

I'd say the same, in fact, if she were dog crazy I'd say she was perfect.

Alan, Id be happy to help you out with your sport link install sometime...Especially since you helped put a few small mods in Mia.
(I may need help removing them to put into the possible Mia II)
Im pretty handy with power tools... use em everyday at work.

Mark,

Just want to say thanks for the great cookout it was great meeting everyone!

Here's to hoping the Navy will let me stay and play this year, or it might be four months before y'all see/hear me again. (NAM doesn't seem to work on the ship for some reason....)

Doug

Mark, thank's for the great time. Hope the kids didn't get into anything while we weren't looking. We meet some more really great people, we're very glad that we came.

P.S. Carrie says Go Liechtenstein!

Yup, you were there, you just didn't realize it was a cookout 'cause you kept forgetting to EAT!
