Gerald, thanks for the rally date. If you would like can set date for class durning Rally or
we can set date before or after Rally. At present checking if interest with members would be
something they would like to attend while in Quartzsite. Thanks Dave

Dave,
The Mechanic's Roundtable is scheduled for Wednesday the 17th at 10AM, and I would like for you to participate if possible. After breakfast on the 18th, is a free day in the rally schedule for people to go into Quartzsite for the day. There is also an opening in the schedule after breakfast from 10 to 11:30 on Friday the 19th. The rally schedule is not set in stone yet, so if you would like to discuss or coordinate anything with the rally, please call or email me.

Dave, I will definitely be there and can help if you need any moving in or out or whatever. Will be around prior to the rally beginning and after. It is a great learning tool.

Doug,

We are powered by a Cummins engine.  Curious how much of your presentation might pertain to other or all diesels, or is it just CAT orientated? 

Thanks,

Bill, the class is around the Caterpillar engine as most Beaver have. However having Cummins
ISC engine is not a problem because I can provide all technical information along with all engine
Fault codes. Have for all BAC members that have Cummins engine Diagnostic Computer OEM
(Cummins Insite). Diagnostic engine readout and printout will be available at this rally which may
be of interest. Dave Atherton Retired Cat Mechanic
