Ed, Wes, and Don Bratt worked on the left upper door top piano hinge weather seal. This is the weather seal that covers the piano hinge on the top of the large 16' door. At the end of the day they had it installed.	Wally continues to do all the wiring in the cab. He is also the designer of the vehicle's 12-volt system and becomes the consultant for the rest of us. That alone keeps him busy. He also does the buying during the week for all of our needs to keep us working. Phil worked on the control panel fabrication that will ultimately be installed in the engine access opening.
Men work on making connections for the running lights.	Howard brought along our lifesaving donuts for our coffee breaks. Carol made lunch with help from Wilma with salad and desert arriving with Wally from Audrey's kitchen. Again Mike and Al did the setup and tear down for lunch. To feed 20 guys in itself is an operation. Stretcher / shrinker that is mounted on a stand.
