Bob:
Sorry for the late response. The Admiral (Sharon) and I just wrapped up our most exciting and busy year of full timing ever and we are ready to kick off 2009 with QZ. Miss you ole buddy and glad to hear you doing so well with your hips. I can't tell you how much Sharon and I miss getting kicked out of Kaiser. We tried to get them to let us join Kaiser in CA but they said no go. CA could only be used on an emergency basis if we were members (requiring residency) in Maryland. So reluctantly we joined United Helathcare and it really sucks. And since we can't find anything better than UHC, that should say something about how wonderful Kaiser is.
We miss all the forum folks and look forward to the oppotunity to reinvigorate many old friendshps and acquire new ones.
Wendy, after I post this message I am going to look further at the Rally section of the forum and find out when your Death Valley rally is.
Also, could anyone help us pin down the dates of the QZ rock and gem show? I am heading up the lapidary this year at Pueblo RV Resort and am most anxious to attend the show. We are also into treasure hunting with our new Garrett metal detector.
Anyone attending with their ham radios? We plan to set up W3PY on a G3RV wire antenna.
Will there be a golf outing at Emerald? If so I'll save room for golf clubs.
Bob .. we tentatively plan to arrive the day before your official date, and we are planning a 2 week trip, depending on Death Valley Days <g> and on the Rock and Gem show.
Please somebody, where do I get the dates of the Rock and Gem show and is it in the big tent or elsewhere?
This year I won't be looking for the yellow clip on sun glasses. I bought ten of them at Shipsawanna at $4 a piece, so that should last me another year. ;D
