Then she's off to the midwest for the rest of the summer, comming back to Texas for Midland in October though.

I guess the 88mm on your building is as easy to use as the one in Aces High.

Post by: bustr on June 21, 2012, 03:48:43 PM: Awww....Hitech just called in a favor from freinds in high places becasue Waffle asked him to climb up on the roof again with a sheet of shiney aluminum to check the color match.

Waffle: Little to the left.
Waffle: No angle it more to the right.
Waffle: Ok back up and angle it up some more....
Waffle: Back up some more, more, more.....
Waffle: Hmmmm...where did he go? Ahh he's got the harness on, what can go wrong?
Waffle: Wow! Hey Hitech look, FiFi is coming in low over the parking lot with---a---bomb---bay---open....... :huh

A ton of tiny sliver photo paper chaff is released on Waffle to make his color corrections in the parking lot. And a courior drives up at that moment with a broom and a case of yard cleanup bags. He will dream color corrected shiny aluminum for the rest of his life. And FiFi will have a new shiny smile on her nose.

Santa was busy and who wants to get stomped by 8 tiny reindeer in a parking lot in Texas.
