I concur with you Bob.
Unfortunately time is always at a premium, sorry I did not get time to speak with you.
My job has me all over the country and fortunate enough for me the stars aligned this time allowing me the opportunity to attend, I have missed enough in the last couple years.
My wife had the chance to meet some of the riff raff and to re-aquaint with some others met at previous functions. Her highlight of the day was the chance to ride in a Spartan APC' not once, but twice during the show on Saturday. Its cool to have a partner who thinks this stuff is awesome just as I do (helps with my OD addiction and spending habits)and no, to all this who enquired, she does not have a sister nor do I want to trade...
Anyhow, we had an enjoyable time, thanks.
