Most likely mentally challenged, any large city has charities with kitchens that will keep the homeless that show up from starving. There are several mega churches in the Minneapolis suburbs that got together and each does a supper on a different week night. Stuff like that, but some of these homeless don't have enough upstairs to get help. I helped out at one of those churches for a couple years, weren't any that I could identify as homeless. Quite a few south of the border folks, though.

Never made it to New Orleans, don't care much for big cities but I'd be willing to give the food a try there.

I was really hoping it would be a good thing to have. Hope I can get it taken care of.

Russ, do you look through the 20” while riding or do you still look over it?

Over it, through it with poor posture.

Finally making some progress since we told the engineers that their stupid doublers for the antennas were a lazy way to do it and our customer would be pissed if we stuck external doublers all over his plane. Gonna shoot some more rivets and sling some wire tomorrow. Interesting to note that Mitch wishes he'd sent some other stuff to you guys that we are still waiting for.

I’ll bet if you still owned that beautiful Roadking it would still be in stock trim
