Default Update...9.2.04

Hey folks

I dropped by LG today to see the progress and snag some pics for the "memories". They got the new heads on before I could get over (they work fast!!), but the pics are cool. The AFR heads are beautiful!


Here you can see the new heads. Might puurty...


Another angle.


Too bad we don't always have this much room to work! Dang...thanks for getting all that grass and crap outta there Lou!


The LG security chief, Columbus. Hard to tell in the pic, but he's about the size of a dumptruck.


More to come... These guys are great to work with!
