Update for you and for me (WCBF)

Still kicking here. Got a ton of voicemails the last couple days (calls I missed, my phone don't ring at work).

Been very busy on the work front as well as personally. Just an assurance that WCBF is still on, wouldn't miss it, but even if I wasn't here, it would still go on. Got the awards pretty well in hand but I still need a donor for old dead coils (3). I have no spares any more, used up the last 5 years.

Fill me in on the planned attendance and arrivals, too much info posted already to get caught up on.

FYI, Zilla will likely run (no intercooler, no time), but SLEeper has issues and won't run. Still here for a meet loaner though.

Well, if you would answer your calls, I have 3 coils we can use for the golden ones.

It is about time, there is a lot of people worried about you. I am glad to hear all is okay and things are good.

How is Dex and the girls doing?

Dex is over 50 lbs now. Learned to swim yesterday.
Katie is doing great, got pretty good grades (you see her in chat alot).
Kim and her boyfriend Jake just finally got their own place instead of sharing a house with friends. Jake's awesome, he's already family.

The house here is a little fuller than it was a month ago. Long story, details at WCBF. That's been part of the drain on my time, in many ways. Some good, some not so good. In a nutshell, just been working very long hours, been very distracted in what little time I had left, and had to pour that into support for a friend, then I've been sick for 2 weeks on top of it all.

Good to hear from you Bill.
Laura and I were worried. :bluetwitch:

How can your house be any fuller? Has Katie moved in permanently for the summer? :)

Wow... 16 days. Since its so close I will post this here.... I may not be going unfortunately. A few things came up that I have no control over and somethings that I did have control over but decided to look into the future than the present.

We decided to give up my wife's teaching job to pursue other investment opportunities, it would have hindered my wife starting her own business essentially so that means that the money we have is going to have to last for a little bit.

2nd - I have 0 days of leave since I took it last week to shoot a music video in FL that I have been setting up for 2 months.

3rd - not really confident in the Bonneville making it back and forth 18hrs each way.

IF I do go it would be on Wednesday night, and would get there sometime in the afternoon on Thursday and would have to leave Sunday morning.

Yea.. I am kinda sad I do want to see you all again. Plus I owe Paul a couple of 12 packs.

All I can say is that sucks, but I understand. Good luck with the new adventures. We will see you next year or sooner, you are always welcome to come north for a little.
