Need to schedule in slip to
our schedule.
Also seeing time difficulties

view with the caveat that Woody Allen be the same as flight OPAL.

of EM to be on Friday, take it to have Dicronite applied immediately afterward

Update. -- Deskin
fell through -- their facilities won't be refurbished until the first of
the year, but they were anxious to help. WSU willing to help, need
to do some paperwork, but should be able to get in at any time. Aerospace
can also help, can shake at any time in LA. Pretty definite, just
need to call them, but wants us to come 1-2 days beforehand to set up
David to talk to WSU and Aerospace tomorrow. Also need to check on
possibility of delivering mass model to WSU a couple days late.

Update. -- rough draft
of ops guide handed out by Brian. Brian to have Jamie link it to
