The event is doing it's thing. We have been taking some photographs and I've temporarily put them up for folks to see.

Go here ->[link removed] to see them. The username is photos, password is photos.

I will be taking all this down on Monday afternoon as I need to take this server offline but, until them, see what we see.

I love the pictures. Though they only capture a fraction of the real fun of a MoM event.

About 80 miles along the road from home, and the air cab air conditioning apparatus went into shut-down mode. Stopped at a car parts place, grabbed a can of R134A just in case, and a simple low pressure side gauge, to see if there was low low-side refrigerant pressure, pressure was within normal air-conditioning-off limits, so I got to remember driving in scorching summer heat without air conditioning. My first car was built so adding air conditioning would require extensive rebuilding of frame and body.

It was good to learn that I can still survive driving in stifling heat...

Got to the Hudson area too late to hitch a ride with the mothership residents, so drove to the Convent, and got there in time for the feast. Yeah, feast indeed. Yummy!

Went to, and through, Crystal Cave, to the bottom of the tour area, and back out. So, the stifling heat coming here did not succeed in stifling me. Yippee!

Met some folks who were not here last year, and am very glad to have met them.

I am now recovering from River's pancakes this morning. They were. in my view, even better than their reputation, which was already superb. Recovering from eating them is a truly grand experience.

Without the marvelous pancakes, meeting and talking with the folks here vastly outweighs the scorching ride it took to get here.

To those who could not come this year, it would gladden my heart to meet those who can come next year.

As long as there is breath in my body, I plan to return, year after year.

As it was for me last year, it has been a beautifully worthwhile experience this year.

Breakfast was great! Dinner looks even better. No field trips for the evening...I think we might be done with those for a bit?

Looks like I am missing all the fun.

We're getting off to a very slow start this morning!

[talula]

We are all assembled here slowpokes

Burgers on the grill soon!

Y'all are missin' it!

And if one more person says to me, "You're not from around here, are you?" ...
