Thanks Don! Money sent.
The new cart, dedicated to the memory of Tim Owen's, has arrived! Complete with new chain and lock. The combination is the same. Thanks Don.

My name is Shirley Kasser Creech and I approve this message. Well, at least one of me does, anyway. Maybe. Fire. Sharp things. Squirrel!
Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.
I got a little impatient and went ahead and drove up and delivered the cart. In my last minute hurry to go, I forgot to grease the wheel bearings. If anyone up there near the cart has a grease gun and feels like doing this, I would appreciate it. I had intentionally not done this in case it was going to be in the back of someones SUV and didn't want to make any kind of mess in their vehicle.
Like Diverlee posted, the combination is the same as the old lock. I do not want to post the combination on a public forum. You can contact any NFSA (North Florida Springs Alliance) board member for the combination or Wayne at Amigos Dive Center.
I would like to thank every one who make donations to this cart. I am donating my time, and my boss was gracious enough to donate the metal that I used. I will be sending the excess funds to the NFSA for their continued causes. If you are not already a member of the NFSA, now might be a good time to join up ($15 isn't much money).
Thanks, Don!

I will be down that way in a couple weeks. Can I leave a donation with Wayne. Our plan is to stay by there and dive the systems right nearby. While I am not yet "full" or sidemount and I didn't know Tim personally but a lot of folks around here did and speak highly of him..... That's good enought for me.
The cart is so awesome! Thank you so much for building something so great!
For those of thus that have not been to jug as of yet, how does the cart system work. Obviously it's locekd up and Ill have to ask about the code when the time comes. But is it lucky enough to be a bring your gear to the site, walk the cart back and dive system. Or is it not that altruisitic, where if you're not the first ones at the site you sol on the cart. I think most cavers are contientious of their fellow divers and would do it the first way, but just interested in how its worked out in the past.
Checked out the cart today - Tracy and I were taking a day off from diving and walked out to Jug. That is a rugged piece of work! Looks about 10 times tougher than the old one.
