Up at 7a.m. and had breakfast with the guys.
Took Binion and Norman out to Hickam AFB
so they could complete arrangements for their flight
to Sand Island tomorrow morning. This took until
10:30. We then drove to the Pan Am airline freight
terminal to mail a truck of bird skins back to D.C.
which took another hour.
Returned to the hotel for lunch and then headed
out to Klyrie to try and locate about 15,000 #3
barbs. Binion wanted to take to Sand Island but
couldn't find all of them. Returned to the hotel
and picked Max up and then headed for the Ala

for Binion and for the ATF. Returned to the
hotel around 3:15 and called it a day.
Yesterday on the way back to the hotel from
the shopping center the car's trailer brakes started
acting funny with the pedal going all the way to the
floor. I took the car over to National and they said
I'd have to swap cars because the brake line had
broken. So I got another '65 Falcon, this one with
29,26 miles on the speedometer.
