You guys will be fine. I looked at the extended forecast and we're still looking at some 30's and 40's for highs over the next couple of weeks. Those 50's and 60's were just a reminder to get to work. :laugher: :laugher: :laugher:

opie, wheel and hub turned out very nice.

Cal, have my fingers crossed for you to get you power back. The rest of your work is coming along nicely. Kick some butt on the machine shop.
