I checked the thermoneter this morning with a reading
of 3 degree. We are expected to get 6" to 8" of snow
tonight. I will have to let you know later if I will
attend the tankl expo. Progress with the tank is going
a little slower then expected, but is coming along. I
just installed the tracks and started on the turning
system of the turrent. I still have to install the
drive system.
