with regards to antenna drive belts. My last interaction with Continental USA
was quite a while ago but in summary they said they could not sell the belt to
me directly due to contract limitations. However they said nothing prevented
them from giving me the belt. Which they did. So why don't you contact them and
see if they are still willing to provide the belt for free. Ron Courcy

I understand the mindset, but I don?t think it?s endemic.
My youngest is putting out resumes and applying for jobs daily now that he?s
graduated. The worst part of all this is that the current industry climate in
the environmental business, no matter where you are, is to circle the wagons
and hunker down. He?s applying for really crappy public works jobs that will
give him some broader experience to try and improve his potential for getting a
?real? job. I have been using what favors I have to try and get him into the
County so he might be able to get a start in the environmental business with
them. In the meantime he works at a local golf course where rich white guys
shove cash at him for taking care of their golf carts.
This is a real conundrum for him - it?s not uncommon for him to come home with
a couple hundred bucks worth of tips for an 8-10 hour day. This is over and
above what he makes in wages. He literally makes more than he would at an
entry level job in his discipline - but he knows that he?s got to find
something and get started in order to be successful in the long term. In the
mean time he?s already paying what little student loans he has and he pays all
of his own expenses, such as gas, insurance, etc., even though we don?t require
it. He has bought some video games and a new computer, but it?s not like he?s
blowing every penny he gets - far from it.
I can only hope that he?s recognized the effort him Mom and I have made to be
successful, and that we didn?t just fall into what we?ve got today. I?m pretty
sure he has.
So for now we?re 50-50. #1 boy - meh. #2 boy - doing OK and making an effort.

I am playing wth the spare antennas I got as part of the Free SD. They do
power up, but the stepper motor belts are toast. Anybody know where to find a
few? They seem to be 6mm wide, 60 tooth, and 122mm girth. Belt in one of the
antenna is a Continental N3. I am really not interested in paying Becker $100
for them to clean and put a fresh belt in.
