What I did today.

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

Well, I have done all the welding on Kirsten's car to date, but we have been a team in the design,
fabrication and assembly of her car. So, I think it's a little more appropriate to say I did it
"with" not "for".
In any event thank you for the compliment!
Also, this past weekend we did manage to get in a little welding lesson for Kirsten and she left
with one steel sample and one aluminum sample of her welding that look damn good for a beginner! So,
you never know what she will be up to next ;^)
