Went home and got Mom to take a ride over and saw A-4 on duty as usual. The rafters were almost all in place and some of the sheeting was on. After running over to Colony Plaza for Mom's haircut we made another trip to the hangar to find the roof trusses completely on. Took Mom back home and called A-4 about 2:00 to see if he needed some liquid refreshment. Then loaded up a Corona and bottle opener and ran over to the hangar again. Sat in A-4's ride and watched the final bit of tar paper being put on the house. All this time, poor A-4 was sitting in the golf car with his mouth open and shaking his head at the speed of construction.

I think it's safe to say that a good day was had by all!!!!

It was a great day. And the Corona that the Mayor brought me was greatly appreciated.
Monday morning the house looked like this:

Today at 4:00 it looked like this:

Thanks again for the Corona and visits today Rusty
