Hi Shawn,

Thanks, some years flew past, others crept but each one has had its high
and low points. We went out to one of our fvorite seafood places for
supper for a quiet celebration.

Made it to the campgroud without incident but when we got to our site
and pulled in, he noticed one tire on the camper worn down to enough
that the belt was showing thru. That got changed before we even set up
camp; now we're set up and spending a quiet afternoon. Out for supper
tonight with some of the other radio folks that checked in early. The
rally officially starts tomorrow.

It's a good size for one or two people, down side is the crawl over bed.
Steve (among other modifications) made the sofa into a pull out bed to
use if he didn't want to do the crawl over.

How's your supply of bubble gum, barb wire, duct tape and bailing twine?
(G) Hope the back gets better; that's not a fun one to have problems
with. The CT scan I had last month showed an old compression fracture of
the 12th vertibrate--explains why I've had back pains the last few
years. I can do so much, then I have to stop for a bit to rest it before
continuing.
