Fire Truck

Charlie & Jenny,

I just thought I would pass along the information on the fire truck. Charlie, I would love to go and do this together. I just think that you guys are busy at the shop and this is a a gamble. My plan is to fly in on Monday the 13th., and transfer the registration. If you really have the time, we can drive out on the 12th. I think this will be OK and we should just have fun in Alaska. The following stuff is for you and Jenny to take a peek at. (Charlie, thanks for all your work on the cactus.)
