Hey Don,
Lucky you! I am working on the "Honey-Do" list and getting everything ready for winter here. Too much work and not enough play for this boy. Retirement is looking better and better to me!

Post some pics if you can?

Yes, it's thursday. I believe the attendamce was actually up. The grounds were overflowing, and there were too many people at the awards for the room in the stands.

They have changed a lot there, new building, new paving, new water and electric hookups. The horse track is gone, and the infield is raised up the the same height as the stands.

With the new hall there was plenty of room for aisles, not all crowded in now.

I wish I could have made it. There were just too many things in the way this weekend.

We really had a good time. It was nice to see everyone again and to meet some new folks. The facility is really nice as well-and a great swapmeet. After 20 years on the road, I used the rod repair shop for the first time. Those guys really helped us out. We did better on the MPG coming home but still only had a best of 12.5 mpg. I look forward to coming back to KZOO. Sam

As has already been said Kzoo was a great time. Most of the usual suspects were there. Got to meet the "Junk" Brothers. Kenney and Co. did their usual fabulous job keeping us fed.

Already looking forward to next year....
