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.
