Folks,
First, I want to thank Chris for the organizing,
and the club for showing up and braving the weather
to show support.

It was most impressive to arrive and see that line of Mazdas
in the parking lot.

Thanks to all the folks who brought food and drinks
and good conversation.

My special thanks and an acknowledgement to
Andrea and Tyler who not only were my co-cooks,
but my co-miserators in the rain.......you two did an excellent job!

...............not only with the cooking, but laughing and clowning around
sure kept *me* in a good mood! -Bob

The after story.......
I get home and I'm unloading the car. I lifted up the almost empty
bag of charcoal, to save it for next time. Holding it to my chest for extra leverage, as I hoisted it up, the briquettes and charcoal dust weighed approximately eight pounds.............
Until the rained-soaked bottom fell out........ -Bob
