Hey...yes. I'm still alive...nearly. As seems to happen every summer, I am
buried with work. 12/7 for the last 21/2 weeks!
I think he's still there, Jeanne....although i've had trouble reaching him on
the radio. He may have been in copenhagen for the weekend. I will be calling
him in the morning as he will be leaving by the end of the month. I am going to
ask him to go to a couple of junkyards and see about lights and anything else
that looks good. He literally is at an airstrip...he services UPS jets as a
covers, so he can ship from work, but still has to pay full freight. You need
to give me more info on the gas can, though.
