I had a great time.

It was a small -- very small -- bunch but we had fun and got to know
one another a little better.

Biggest news of the day?? Ben Hom is starting on a layout that is
scheduled to be on a tour in October -- now that's bravery . . .

(interesting story, I'll let Ben tell if he chooses ... frankly, Ben, I
think your "day at the car shop" would be more interesting, but some
folks just have to see a "layout" I guess.)
