That's way too Koooool, Greg. Good Job. Maybe you can figure out a way to use
that technique for advertising - help subsidize our fuel and repair bills, i.e.
"Rent-A-Bird Advertising".

Thanks, projects like that are fun. we are making plans to convert an airstream
trailer into a parade float that folds open for parade goers to get a look
inside. however the plans are to embellish the interior decor a bit.

This weekend there are 5 Rainbowrv event across the country, things are
beginning to gain momentum. This forum and the interaction and fellowship
between members was the lesson to me of possibilities with Rainbowrv membership.
I believe the rv personality is the uniquely wonderful attitude both our groups
share that make all this fun.

I will have the bus and shoe in Quartzsite Rainbowrv has big plans for our area
of the desert. Tim and I will spend some time with the BBcircle and I hope our
BlueBird friend can check out the fun 1 mile away. Dont worry Rob, there is no
initiation.

Greg,

From one craftsman to another, Bravo! I think that was an outstanding effort and
it looks as thought it was a great success. I've watched the video several times
and The Shoe, " STEELETTO " and it's ability to raise and lower was a real crowd
pleaser, I'm certain the needle on the fun meter was in the red the day of the
parade, it's quite unique.

Wow Kurt thanks. I fail to compare to your artistic ability. Several years back
I visited your site I'm not a gun collector but I marveled at your work. You
have a motto, something like 'engraving is limited only by imagination' I
thought about having a lighted grab rail modified by adding some metal then
commissioning some engraving. like the coach name, manufacture date, BB logo, a
colonial welcome pineapple, and scroll art
