Default Back from the TAS!

Hi Crew!

Just woke up this morning in my own bed back home. I cannot even begin to tell you how killer this trip was, and right now I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say.... WE'RE BEAT! Home base means bandwidth which means we can now get stuff pushed up to the site. Hang tight, need to wash the grime off me and we'll get 'r dun!

Max, Momo, and Biff all did the Giants proud. Biff had the right balance running his crater vs. letting the crowd and pilots enjoy some quiet; but at the same time let everyone know how much the sponsors kicked in supporting our hobby. Mad Max nearly had a coronary trying to get live video out, and Momo worked quietly, but equally hard behind the scenes for the most part.

I'm willing to give them all some well deserved time to reconstitute.

Who drove that bad a__ motor home?

Well it was a great ride. I just finished unpacking the MH and now it is time to relax. Max, Momo, Mrs. Towball, MamaD, Toro, Snap and Biff were great all week. Not to mention Tony and Brett HeyDick!! Thanks for all of your support and friendship.
