Alex, ole bean,
I spent the majority of the past two weeks on the Sud Shore of Mount Royal and hence was out of contact with the civilized world. I was twice surprised when the bros Mackie showed up at the Hammond Barn. Apparently, someone who lives in Hammond, near the barn, and answers to the name Boobee had prior knowledge of this event...but I won't rat him out.
I'll get right on that black hat deal!
