Brett-

We're having lots of fun preparing for your return. The elephant traps have been dug in the fields and neatly covered with blankers and freshly mowed hay. I've also reinforced the ladder down to the whaler and we're speculating on whether we should prepare a reinforced throne for you to sit on, remembering your last experience with a utilitarian chair at a Sydney BBQ.

Looks like we'll have about two dozen folks at our get-together in Maine. I'm NOT doing a Mudcat thread on this.

Bring your favorite flavor of bug spray and sunscreen.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
