finally on the road this week, just a few small issues to iron out. many thanks to various members of the peanut city geeks for their help and encouragement, paricularly markee, will g, danny d, and winslow. also brad at gypsy choppers, my father-in-law, and especially a local aircraft restoration mechanic tom kurtz who spent lots of time teaching me how to do all kinds of stuff i wouldn't have imagined i could do. he made a lot of things make sense. these are just a few of many who took the time to help me out, and i appreciate it.
