[GreenKeys] GADZOOKS!!

Shamefacedly I failed toinclude Paul Heller, the NEW W2TTY in my 
trip tirade.

I met Paull in Grand Junction, about 0630 in the morning after first 
enteringColorado about two hours before.

I was dead beat, and after digging out a couple of toys, passed out 
in the passenger seat of the van.

I was so out of it that when Paulf found me with my DVD viewer 
perched on my chest playing "SHARKNADO", he could not awaken me by 
tapping on thw window or the car. I surfaced when my cell went of 
and he was laughing as I fumbled to answer the phone.

After becoming mentally competent we chatted and loaded a model 28 
KSR and a tall industrial relay rack into the back of his little 
truck.

The necessities completed, we wandered into the "Golden Corral" 
where a light but tasty breakfast was enjoyed.

Y'all are blessed by having a young, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed 
software engineer taking over ITTY. He admittedly does not know 
alout about the mechanics of the teletype hobby, but we all had to 
start somewhere, and Paul's youth and enthusiasm reminds me of the 
days surrounding the acquisition of my first model 26. He'll do 
good!!

The dramatic changes in the weather will assuredly accelerate the 
ITTY move, although two ASR's could easily be converted into a 
two-horse bobsled (McGyver) and make the trip real easy. Snow?? just 
pop the cover and you have a nice windshield!!.

Welcome to the Hornet's Nest, Paul, it was my pleasure meeting you.
