Hi Patrick,

You're right!  We should.  We have had gatherings at B.D.'s, but I was
unable to attend the last one due to familial obligations...I was hoping to
host one in the Spring...hopefully, my construction will be done by then...
It would be a daytime event/barbecue/run naked through the daisies, pin the
tail on the donkey, Leica fashion contest...etc.  Just kidding, we have no
daisies in the field ;-)

Austin
