how many guys and gals are on this thread?

Just curious if there are any women doing repowers here? I just met a cummins mechanic here in Alabama that was one of the most knowledgeable tech's I've met in a long time. She was driving a Ford F650 service truck with a a pink Cummins and Detroit sticker on the back, along with a tiny bouquet of pink roses painted on the door. Cracked me up, we were picking fun at at the truck's colors since all we could see was a pair of boots sticking out from under a power unit initially. Boy did we feel like royal arse's when she stood up. I've known plenty of female welders, but this was the first time I ever met a female Diesel tech. She mentioned she read this forum from time to time, thought it was alright, but too much testosterone.

Just curious if anyone knows the # of female members here, it would be an enlightening poll I bet.
