Well, Doug,  I hope no one attending Copper State flyin holds their breath for my arrival and speech (although I'm certain the talk would have been  breath taking {:>)). 
 
 Actually, the trip does have a certain appeal as I am currently living in the garage (actually only having breakfast, lunch and dinner there)  as we await the wall to wall remodeling being done to our kitchen to be completed.  But, I don't think it would be very smart on my part to leave my spouse here to interact with the contractors while I fly off to the wild west.  In fact, I KNOW it would not be smart.
 
So sadly, it will have to be some other speaker - heck, just about anybody on the list could probably find a topic of interest - in fact a very intelligent fellow by name of Doug comes to mind {:>)
 
Furthermore, one of the things I have learned since "retiring" in 1999 (for the second time or was it the third) is that had I know how hard retirement was, I would have kept a job.  There is simply not enough time in the day (not to mention money) to finish all the projects you can get started on when you retire and think you have all that time.
 
I discovered that while theoretically a retiree should (and some do) have gobs of time - that now that you have the time to really get into things of interest, they can easily eat up all that retiree time.  I seldom get to bed before 1130 and am usually up by 0630 to start my day of projects.
 
So don't say I didn't warn you.  Oh, and don't turn your electronic hobby into a small business - that will really shoot retirement all to heck. 
 
Do I protest too much? Hee Hee
 
Ed

>Does anyone here know who might (if they actually get here) be making a rotary presentation?
 
 
Dale:  I'd bet the incomparable Ed Anderson must be planning to make a super secret surprise visit out that way. 
 
It's a well known fact (among us who still have to work), that retirees have so much free time on their hands that their always ready, willing, and able to knock out a fun cross-country trip; as long as they get to do it in their rotary powered RV!  :)
