[BC] bonding AM tower sections

[Rob Atkinson]

off in la la land i guess.  Had no idea.  Glad to be back and continue my 
education.  But wouldn't welding screw up the galvanization and invite rust? 
  Of course if the tower's painted I guess it doesn't matter.  Now that I 
think about it, the welds could be covered with cold galv spray if 
necessary.   Anyway, thanks Milt.

Where have you been, Rob ?
Of course they're all tack welded--or are supposed to be........
