[AJD] need pictures of safety wire installations

[Dean VP]

Bill:

No luck so far.  I must have deleted them. I just can't find them. But...
I'll keep looking. Sorry! I have a photographic memory but the all the film
has been overexposed.

Well, Dean, you've got me drooling over those pics you can't find, LOL. 
I'll probably hold off for pictures that actually look like they could be 
part of an old machine, although looking at the websites that have been 
suggested indicates that I have a few things to learn about technique and 
I'll be taking a closer look at them forthwith.

Thanks for looking, let me know if you find anything.  Otherwise I'll start 
taking more pics when I have things apart.  I hand over the gavel to the 
next president of my Rotary club at the end of June, I won't get this 
quality floor time after that.

It's amazing how much material that I take to Rotary and church and other 
public speaking events comes from the ATIS lists.  Like that September 11, 
2001 Shockwave Flash video...always brings a few tears, we've used that each

year since.  And the Honda ad with the parts all strung out.  The first car 
to break 100 mph.  You never know where this ATIS stuff will end up!
