No this was a bit beyond their capabilities, some programming issues, some wiring and some operator issues.

Staying out of Waikiki, I get in trouble when I am unsupervised.

I had two tours totaling 2.6 hours. Those would cost big bucks to anyone else. Gonna have a nice fat juicy steak tonight, swill a few more beers and get ready to head home tomorrow. Later in the week I travel to Paris then on to Abuja for a week or so. I haven't told Kristi I am going to Paris yet, I am so screwed if we don't do this Austria job!

It is the capital of Nigeria and there are no Harley dealers in Nigeria. I might be able to slip out and grab some in Paris. Can't wait to see a snotty French Harley Shop!

Ok that confused me. What does Paris have to do with Austria?

Watched a documentary about Nigeria. Lots of war there. I'm sure your services will go to good use.
