    He paid a down payment about 1/3 of the estimated price. He came in
    last week with his baby daughter and checked on the progress
    mentioning that he needed it by a certain date as he was shipping out
    to Iraq. It is his third deployment. I did not know if he had made 
any
    purchases before. He picked it up today, with a chain to go with it,
    no balance was due, but I did request he buy me a beer when he gets
    back. He had made purchases before, but that would not have mattered.
