That is great news Bruce. Thanks for undertaking that part of the project.

 

I did a quick thank you to folks earlier, but I wanted to make sure to give credit where due.
I did a bunch of the legwork for obtaining raffle prizes for this event, and wanted to really thank the folks that contributed. It is a leap of faith to make a contribution to an somewhat underground event that is not being publicized, but folks stepped up to help out and it is much appreciated. In no particular order, raffle contributors were:

Sonoran Steel
Xtreme Off-Road
Total Chaos
Randy's Ring and Pinion
Rodland Toyota of Everett
West Marine Rigging of Seattle
West Marine, Everett


Thanks again everyone and hope we can do this again next year.

 

Just wanted to say what a great time I had with you all. Everyone made the whole trip fun. Jim-say hey to Michelle and let her know I look forward to driving with her in the future. Lisa and Nicole we need to get you out there as well. I'm not forgetting Heather what a hoot watching her herd Brent! I think the women should plan a Powder Puff run sometime in the future...what do you think? Girls Rule!

 

This is Michelle,

Oh my gosh, Erika you are hilarious!!! I agree we should do a Powder Puff run. I showed my students my pictures driving...they all agree, I am the coolest teacher!! Of course I didn't show them the one where I'm screaming "I'm GOING to DIE"! Congradulations on joining the men's room. Girls RULE!!

Donna would be up for that, I know. I've been letting her drive a little in Colorado. She really enjoys it (more than I'd like).

 

Mike, are you guys going to make it down to AZ in Jan?

 

Heather allready does 70% of the driving! Ha Ha I p-p on your tire. What do you mean herding me? Like herding a cow? So now I am a cow? Does my butt look big in these pants?

 

I do not know yet. The kids' school would probalby be an issue.

Is there a Yotatech thread for it yet? (It would be good to start one.)

 

Uh, no it would not.

 

Okay, so herd is too strong a term, maybe keeping you in your britches is better?

 

My thought is thread about what? There is no thread.

 

Ok, I finally got the Video footage from this trip, uploaded to my computer. It took 18 gigs, so I'll leave how I edit each DVD, to the guys who went, so it includes each individual rig. I'm gonna try and make a highlight DVD as well. I installed Studio 9 and I'm a n00b to it's use, so I don't know how long it'll take to finish up everything, but if we keep getting rain, I'll have plenty of time to learn.

 

I'll want to buy one. (I want to see my footage at Hell's Gate.)

I have some good footage from that weekend, but it's not complete enough to make

Bruce, if you need any help or tips on the editing, let me know. I've had plenty of practice.
