Today was going to be a day for us to work on the Canopy rear skirts but something more important came up. Yes, there are things more important than building. Richard's son (Brian) is a member of a Church in Milwaukee which is in depressed area. Brian is also a City of Milwaukee Police Ofificer. Nuff said! It is a large School/Church where they cater to inner city children giving them an opportunity to attend there facility. Now for the bad part..

So we thought right off the bat that the unit wasn't getting fuel since the pilot wasn't lighting. This thing has a standard operating process that if one thing fails, the other will shut down for obvious reasons. The pilot wan't lighting s
