Simon... Don't hold the Ex Military against us...

I am sitting here waiting for someone likeTom Bryant to tell us he is an
Auto mechanic so I can Bounce on him....

Tom has built a Great Business... with a Lot of High Quality standards that
really are neat... his Web site says alot about him...www.bryantauto.com

I only bring it up Cause I can see Tom saying he got Lucky.... like Ed Van
Scoy...  okay Speaking of Ed... where are you on this one... he is the only
guy that I can think of that really is out of his element here.... ( non
engineer non mechanic...non work related... basically Just like me now that
I think of it!!! )

Now about the aliens... you throw Rocks at them on your way Past each day? 
Nevermind....

years in tool design for the 747, 67,77 but am now in Manufacturing
Research and Development.  As luck would have it this group merged
organizationally as the commercial side of "Phantom Works".  This is our
version of "Skunk Works".  Being commercial aircraft I don't get to work on
"supersonic laser powered discombobulators" or anything.  We do have
tunnels in the factory that we call "Area 52".  They store mummified aliens
in those tunnels, all wrapped up in their purple outfits, sporting blue
hair.
