Doc,

 Ya I have been workin hard and I have a ways to go yet. I have to fix my tow dolly monday. As for work I get jobs from the union hall. There are a bunch of jobs starting in a week or so.

 Aran is doing great. He has started to "furnature walk" I expect he'll be walking on his own in no time now. He is 9 months now.

 I am not sure which warner I have in the RWB grem. I just know it was the stocker in the 343 amx it came out of. Condition unknown. I do however have the adapter kit to mate a 727 up to a 343 ! I happen to have a spare 727 TCI built with reverse pattern VB and an 8" TCI 4500 stall verter! I have the drive shaft that fits that combo as well from  2 owners ago.

Back to work on my grems in the morning!.I am starting to get psyched again! Thanks

 Davis
