EVERYONE PULLS TOGETHER AT THE SHOP

Wow – what a day! What a week, really. It's been busy.

The trailer is back on the ground, the discs and the floaters are all ready to go, and all the wiring and plumbing are back together in the driver's compartment after changes were made for Todd. Ozzie has been working hard on the chute launchers that will go on the car this year to shoot the parachutes far out into the air.

Yesterday, there was a whole gang at the shop: Alan, Ed, Charlie, Jerad from Red's Reconditioning, Mitch, Terri, Terri's husband Bob, who was working on the trailer A/C and heater, Maura, who does custom sewing and embroidery, and me. Alan took some videos of all the work that was going on, and it will be up on the Website soon, so keep checking.

It's just five days now until we pull out of the shop to head for Valdosta, Ga., to test. These next five days are going to go by so fast, and we still have so much to do. Thanks to this amazing team, we'll get it all done and be on our way. Terri is back from shoulder surgery and oh my gosh it's GREAT to have her back!

I can't believe this season is about to begin, how excited I am, and how excited the whole team is. I will try to give everyone an update on a daily basis. I'll write at you soon.

Jay
