The weather left a lot to be desired, mostly cloudy & rainy. But the company made up for it!
Had some fume issues (see "breather" thread) which curtailed some wheeling/socializing activities for TLMP & me...:confusedw
All in all, a pretty good weekend, with no carnage to speak of...unless we mention Greggs exhaust tip...:uhohgray:...:yesgray:
Sorry I didn't get to see you before we left, Kenny & Big Swede, we hunted down Big Jim & Brother Mike, then beat feet outta town, JUST getting home in time for me to go...:sleepgray (I had to work @ midnight)
I'll post the best pics in a day or two.
You must have left early, I got up before 8 and you were gone (that's early for me on a Sunday...). Heck, I was home before noon.
It was fun to see everybody.
Yah, I wandered by your room about 0645 but saw no lights or signs of activity. Went over to the Bonsai Tea downtown for some coffee, then called Jim & Mike, and woke them up.Quote:

Yah, the big fish is looking much improved from last year. While we were there, a lady stopped to take some pics. She informed me that it was still a WIP(notice it has no eyes), & that she had been taking pics of the progress.Quote:
