,
Good recording to you all and hope it is a success.
I long to return to Yuba Pass as it is a special place. June for me
is usually a time that I am running on empty. Usually by August
flying into a hurricane doesn't sound so bad. Not this year, I still
have not recovered from the life of last year.
I hope to catch you all next year.
