I fly to LV tomorrow morning. So far I only see Ambush Masster & QRQ from the QP site as going.
BMT, I'm glad to hear you're home and out of the kill-zone - hope to see you out there as well.

Don't forget, 8 days til Oct 3rd. Hoist a toast to fallen comrades.

Plane departs Atlanta this afternoon at 641 EDT and arrives Las Vegas at 755 PDT. I'll warm things up for y'all. I'm leaving in the afternoon since its a 3 hour drive to Atlanta and I don't wish to get up in the wee hours.

Dayem!! I just loaded the truck!!

You'd think we pere moving back to Thailand. My daughter has eleven pair of shoes. I asked her why and she says she never knows what she will wear. Sounds like Emelda Marcos!!!

Its a good thing I have the truck, it would never all fit in the Sebring.

One good thing. Once I turn them loose on Vegas I'll probably not see them again until the banquet.

I got home yesterday. I must have had fun since I just woke from almost 24 hours of sleep.

I met A.M., Toby and maybe one-zero since I don't recall his name. I remade acquaintances with many people I had forgotten. Many recognized me before I them. When you are of such a diminutive size as I you are easily recognized.

I met one of the original 33 of FOB-2, Jim Stewart. He has an enviable record (IMO) in that he completed 20+ operations without ever making contact. I know things changed in the 70's but in our day if you made contact it was because you screwed up!! We did the "Studies and Observations" thing. We took lots of pictures and brought back lots of soil samples. I only made serious contact once and it was because of a basic mistake: returning to a site we made contact at the day before to take pictures..

I had a great time and hope I can make it again. It's easy to get permission from my wife. All I have to do is take her. I turn her loose on the casino and don't see her again until the banquet.
