Here in central Iowa its clear skies with light winds, lows in the high 40's
with highs hitting 85.  BEAUTIFUL WEATHER!  You know what that means, that
means that my Spitfire is broken! (see posting on a-arms self-destructing).  I
hope to put it back together tonight and get a little fair weather driving in
before the Iowa monsoons come back (forecast for the weekend).      

Thanks,

time' on me.
