[GreenKeys] Project Big Bird Status Report

[Howard R. Weeks]

Folks,

The Dovetrons are "real"!  Roy Norris and I had our hands on all of them
yesterday as we packed them
for shipment to Glen.

About half of them (maybe more) appear to be either new or factory rehabs.
They were double packed,
sealed in plastic with dessicant, power cord and manual.  A majority of the
balance were well packed but
not sealed.  Presume they had seen some use - but still looked good.  There
were a small few that were
complete except for a screw or two.  Most had manuals with them.  These were
Dovetron "User Manuals"
that included skematics, hook up info, and theory of operation, etc.

It was "hot" in that warehouse!  Sure glad there was two of us there to do
the packing / re-packing.  For a
while there, Roy and I were in the middle of a mountain of boxes and
Dovetrons as the forklift driver
kept bringing pallet after pallet of modems and piling them around us.

Roadway Trucking is supposed to pick them up on Tuesday and they should be
on their way to Tacoma.
Then George has to give them all an operational check!

After all that, I still had to pick up a load of tractor parts and drive the
315 miles back home.

But enjoyed every minute of it.
