I missed last year (first time since I started going in 2000) but I'm back this year. Most likely I will just be R&R'ing from work and watching the ditch feeding. Looking forward to seeing the ATL and Caldwell crews - what ever is left of them since 05 anyway!

Weather forecast looks fairly good for next weekend at this time. It is really nice here today. Mid 70s and clear, no breeze. Forecast for later next week is 20% chance of showers on Thursday. Mid to high 60's on Friday and clear. We will see if that holds out early next week.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Got a call from David Sussman from Atlanta today. Some of you that were here last year may remember him. He is the guy that had the cookies and pastries for anyone that wanted them. Well he is going to be back again this year and will have the same setup. This is some top notch sweets and cakes. So be sure to tell David how much you appreciate him furnishing the items for your enjoyment. The best thing about David doing this is the price is something that everyone enjoys. It is a Freebie, Nada, Zilch.

So all we need now is someone with a big coffee pot and we should be set.lol

Today, weather was great again. The field looks awesome.

I fed the ditch a Stratus today... It wasn't that hungry so it just got a boom and some servo gears and a canopy. (botched an *attempt* at an inverted auto, blades stopped).

From what I have seen, most people are gone or at least packing up to leave by noon or so on Sunday.
