[AJD] AR update

[Jim Showers]

Man, you're making me feel bad, I took the sheet metal off my 1951 AO 3 
years ago to start restoration and haven't done anything for 2 1/2 of them. 
Work keeps getting in the way.  Since the 19th, I have had to go to work 15 
times......too much especially since half my time off is in a hotel.
