snowtrooper,

Congratulations on receiving your baby and welcome to the obsession. As you found out when you own a VX there are no strangers. I had a very similar experience when I went to Chicago to pick my VX up a couple of years ago. I met some great people, and look forward to seeing them again. If you can, try to make it out to Moab in May to meet some more of the family. It's like getting together a bunch of old friends that you haven't seen in a while.
