Well done, Mike!

The Mini was just tremendous! Thanks also to Karen for helping out and making everyone feel very much at home. I'm not sure what I'll do with all my newfound knowledge... probably jjust procrastinate as always... but the presentations were great. The discussion about LOR sequencing and GFCI tripping was most worthwhile. The food... wow, just great. Getting to rub elbows with others who are doomed to a life of addition to this hobby was very comforting, too!!!

Thanks again, my friend!

+1 to what Dave said. I must admit I haven't been in the Christmas decorating mood the past few weeks - haven't been on this or any other forum virtually at all for at least 4 weeks. As such, I was questioning whether I really wanted to burn a beautiful Saturday at a mini event.

Boy am I glad I showed up. Great information, excellent company, and the hosts couldn't have done it better. Thanks so much, everyone!

Here's a few pics I took at the event. If you want pics of me (and why on earth would you??) you'll have to bug some of the others :)

Missed you. I always learn something big (to me anyway) from you.
I was hoping to get blinded by the three watters.
