Curt,

Looks good.  The Tod Engine Works foundry has been out of commission for two 
days.  The bottom of the furnace developed a big crack and molten iron began 
pouring out the bottom.  I've had to completely tear down the furnace, build 
a new bottom and tommorrow after the refractory sets up I'll finish relining 
and be back in business. I've made a few improvements that hopefully will 
prevent another cracked bottom. I have a rush job of 16 castings to do by 
Monday so Zara and I will be there all weekend.

Rick

PS It looks like a couple of months at the earliest before I can even think 
about moving operations to the new place.  Might even be well into fall.
