I knew Unca Joel would come through for us - Thanks.

Recently, a few co-workers and I acted as night watch-persons at the
conference grounds for the Pecos (Archaeology) Conference near Los Alamos,
New Mexico.  The first night it poured rain.  Two of my co-workers were in
tents and one was in the back of his pickup w/camper shell.  This did not
lend itself to having a beer by the campfire, so we all ended up in the
A.B., comfortably dry and warm and with a cooler full of beer at the
ready.  Oh yes - and the satellite radio.  There were many complimentary
remarks re the A.B.'s comforts.

Speaking of the Sirius satellite system, a word of warning.  Originally,
the antenna wire ran under the front poptop rail and up into the luggage
rack.  Apparently, after several months, lowering the poptop has crimped
the wire and the antenna quit working.  I had to fork over another $50 for
a new one since I was told that the coaxial cable can't be replaced on the
original.  Since I glued the old one down tightly, I left it there and now
have two Sirius satellite antennas in the luggage rack.  On the second
one, I put the antenna in the luggage rack, ran the wire through the drain
hole, then drilled a small hole through the door frame on the passenger
side - then down the door post and under the carpet.  Working fine.
