Smoky D’s BBQ. Of course we had a couple of beers “just” to make sure the category “beer & BBQ” was satisfied! <div>Followed up today with a checkout of the Prairie City Middle School Auditorium renovation. As per Cheops’ law of construction projects, everything is “a bit” behind schedule. Made a couple of </div><div>on-the-fly adjustments to the track installation and Bill got a page (or so) of punch list items for all the trades going. </div><div>All in all, a very enjoyable evening followed by a slightly frustrating but productive day.<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Michael Powers</span><div>USMC '65-'69<br><div>ETCP Rigger #820 (Ret'd)<br><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
