I've been off list, but I gather that you need a good fan. I'm not 
home yet, but I will be in 2 days. I have several.

I just decided to take a detour to my folks house since the car was 
running so well and the weather was good.

Great Invasion! We had lots of good people and a good caravan 
there and back. As before, getting there (and back) is half the fun. 
Thanks to John J., Bob and Sue, Tom and Jean for a fun trip home. 
Hope your last legs home were all as uneventful as mine.

Kudos to the Invasion organizers: Ron Mann and Keith Park. As 
usual, it was a real kick to put faces on those names. We were 
sorry that Jason Smith had to turn around and head home, but we 
certainly understand the problem. Unfortunately there were a bunch 
of others out there who just will never realize what they missed by 
not showing up. You REALLY should have been there.

PERFECT weather! Beautiful setting. The early morning trip back 
up thru the mists of 322 north out of Harrisburg would have almost 
been worth the trip all by itself.  We had a blast.  ;-)
