I know I'm a tad late but I wanted to say it was quite awesome to meetseveral rmrians and Internet colleagues I hadn't the pleasure to before:Phil Stein - you are what you write :-)> BTW, stop that! You're gonna goblind!Marcus Leech - cool and suave, just like on rmrJoel Rogers - he flies a Nuke... 'nuff said (Sorry 'bout dat motor retainer,Bro)Bobby D AKA RDH8 - flies - and makes - some of the most advanced toys aroundJim Seekol - renderer emeritusPaul Robinson - another guy with all his hair :-)>(I'm sure I missed somebody but I took a muscle relaxer for a pinched nerveabout an hour ago. When my memory comes back biochemically, I'll get toyou... Right about now, I know what Phil Stein feels like at any givenmoment :-)> )It's always a great time when I see some of the fringe crew, too:The guys from MDRA: Fred Wallace, Neil Mac, Bob Utley, Jerry O, LesterSherman, Ted Proseus, Dave Weber, Kathy G, Darren WrightThe New England Contingent: Dr. Jeff Taylor, Rob Bazinet, Al Goncalves, ToddHarrison, Ryan SebastianBRS: Lloyd and Mickie Wood, Al Sterner, Murray Lampert, Dean Oberg and lastbut CERTAINLY NOT least Ray Halm and Andy Shechter (or is that Schechter?)Who gets sick of seeing METRA guys either, huh? Dennis Lappert, Bobby B,Fred Taverni, Ed Enyart, John Novalis and Jeff davenport (AKA JDCluster'round these parts)If you haven't already reverse-peristalsized the Taco Grande you ate forlunch, I made two EX flights. First pass Tuesday morning was my extended2.26x48" ARG EV-1 (ARCAS-ish) on a 29mm, 23.5" long I700 Red (~550N-s). Theformula was vibrated, vacuumed and vulcanized by my bud and technical guru,Scotty R who also made the motor hardware. The 3.6# rocket wanted to jumpout of its skin when the business end came up, 6 foot fire engine red flamebehind it. 4003' at the big end. Unfortunately for me, I was a tad weightyon the charges and the aft seperated at apogee, coming in ballistic WAY downrange.2nd flight I made was Tuesday morning in Scott's 4" Performance...

Even though I wasn't there, you all have my appreciation -- as does anyone else who hosts an LDRS. You folks provide a tremendous service to TRA and the hobby.

I included them by association but was aware of the particulars. Thanks for clarification nonetheless.

Doc, I never did make it to the host hotel. There was hope on Saturday, after the banquet, but that ran alot longer than I expected. Next time for sure.
