For a reminder, I'm bringing this thread to the forefront:

This AM breakfast gathering is next Saturday morning.

[W3GMS]

Hi Tom,
Martha and I are looking forward to the gathering. 

On another subject, I did not have a chance this weekend to get a picture taken of the console that Harry, W3FDY guided me through.  Hopefully I will be able to post a picture of it tomorrow.  I will bring it to the breakfast so you can see it. 

Retirement life has been keeping me extreamly busy.

Just got back at 1:30.  Barb and I had a great time.   The place is huge compared to when we were last in the area 15+ years ago.  We went to the market and the gift shop afterward.  The market and gift shop were both gigantic, and both had some interesting stuff I've not seen anywhere else.

Thanks for setting this up Tom

Yeah, I had a good  time as well...Got back to New Castle at 1:30pm also.

Stopped by W3DUQ's place there on Icedale Road and left at 11:45am.

Bill appeared to not be surprised when I pulled into his driveway.  He was out front
fooling with a new DTV antenna...

His shack sure has a lot of rigs that he could use but he apparently just don't get
the urge all that much.  Think a few visits by some of you guys close by his location
might give him the urge to get a bit more active.

In looking at my travel time from his place to home (1 hour,45 minutes) I know there are
others closer in.

Anyhow, it was a fine get together even if it was raining...

[W3GMS]

Martha and I had a great time as well.  We also did some shopping after the breakfast.  I will post a group shot tomorrow.
Thanks Tom for making the arrangements.

Ralph,
Glad you got by to visit Mr. Nagle
