Some sad news yesterday morning. We found out that Terry's Mom had a heart attack and passed away the night before. His son was here visiting at the time, and of course both of them left immediately. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. It is definitely a lot more quiet around here without him.

Because his son was visiting, they left in his son's car, leaving Terry's bright orange Karman Ghia. Terry might be gone, but his oil slick remains.

Last night another veteran returned, this time with her husband. A big welcome round of applause for Sabrina and Reggie! Of course, they got here right as we were finishing for the day, and just in time for dinner. Great timing. I'll make sure that they pay for that faux pas today on the walls.

Speaking of faux, another great day on the highway. I have officially renounced my title of Chalk Boy, as the walls have all been lined. We conpletely finished another wall yesterday, and grouted three more. We should finish grouting today, which would put all of us on shadow and highlights. We're flying! I truly expect the parapets to be finished by Thursday, just in time for the real fun to begin. That's when the 45' articulated lifts arrive. Still haven't figured out if we are going to use two or four. We'll just have to play first.

Last night we celebrated Ken's 51st birthday. As a gift, we all gave Ken our thirst, which he promptly quenched with some fabulous Hernder Estates Icewine! Truly fabulous! Hurry up and have another birthday, Ken!

Mickie has finally emerged from her sickbed. I think she's going to make it! Actually got dressed and went out in public for a few hours last night. Sans cough.

I need to get the camera out today. Been a little lax in that department. Pardon me, OK? We've been a little busy.

More later.

Mike
