Unfortunately Bronx and I won't be attending due to new shop renovations in full swing to get the business back up and running. I have to get wifey back to working so I can go and play on Saturdays....lol

Update from me: unfortunately I won't be making the trip this time. Without boring you with details, I am in the midst of buying a new house and there are a number of time-sensitive issues going on with it. Biggest is that I have to be mostly out of my current place by March 2. So I will be very consumed with moving for the next few weeks.
I will DEFINITELY miss seeing you all this trip but I will try to catch you guys again at the next event.

Just heard about this from Russ and Jason. I'm tentatively in for part of it. Need to work around some other planned weekend activities and will let you know. So that'll add one more grease-burner to the mix.

You never said ya didn't like the leg humping?? 
Daisy and I are leaving St. Louis as soon as I turn this 'puter off and go break camp. The boys are gonna meet us at home tomorow (in GA) and we will get on up the road toward NJ on Sunday!!!
ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have some friends to visit along the way, but if anyone has suggestions for destinations - we are always game. Thinking about DC, maybe drive by the WH, Lincoln Monument, etc and visit the Smithsonian?? We are gonna stay w/Mike in S. Jersey, so might as well go into Philly and see that broken bell and stuff. The boys wanna see the Statue of Liberty and maybe we'll go into NYC and see some of the touristy stuff... (God help me, that place is torture to this country boy.

God, NYC was torture on me too. I used to do a lot of work there - built a number of parking decks and a baseball stadium in that town. Nothing like leaving a hotel in Parsippany NJ at 5AM to get to a 10AM construction conference. 
Be safe in your travels, Jason.
