I guess what makes that T-Rex look so cute, is that he looks so much like a Velociraptor. 🤪

1. There is actually a McDonald's in Quartzsite. 2. That's not it. I've been there many times. 3. No way would any restaurant in Q be closed for remodeling during the Powwow. 4. That's not an Arizona sky in January. 5. Photo taken on May 18, 2011, Flickr account of Phil G (Who?) 6. Those are not RTHlings. 7. They need to get and use a dictionary. Ha. All good points. That is an oft used-and -abused picher on a different site that I lurk at. ElectricianTalk.com?

I guess it pretty much gets used and abused across the internet, lol.

A few pictures from the BBQ:
Matthew (second from left) next to his dad, TheRock , Vince and Frank:
The chow line:
Christopher christopherl1234 and his wife and kids were there, as well as Brian beefjello and Rodney were also there, but I was too busy yakking and forgot to take pictures.
We had a great time and met a bunch of great folks! Now we are extremely tired and going to crash. Tomorrow I'll put up pics of our haul (we went a little overboard) when we get home and unpacked.
Thanks again to Tony catmandewe and Chris for putting on such a great event and all the work that goes into it!
Enjoyed spending time with you and Vince! Man what a beautiful day it was yesterday. And yes, Tony and Chris deserve major kudos for hosting and feeding the masses out there!!

aDave hope you guys keep getting better and make full recovery. Thanks, Evan. We're still dragging, but there does seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Wife is not needing to sleep as much through the day, but she and I are still dragging a bit.

We looked at New Class "A"s yesterday I can see an upgrade in the future one that has more storage space to live in more comfortably. Are we having fun yet?

No sense in not making the best of your trip considering the distance you traveled. Do you miss the MI weather yet?

Did you all see the huge petwood Tony has been cutting on with his drag saw? It finally cut through, what an amazing slice of petwood!!!! He was showing the progress everyday on F/B... Yes I have a picture of it but don't have the cable handy to get the pic off my phone. Sure has that drag saw dialed in now, its cutting on the third slice now....

I never did get that photo emailed to me, so could not post it.
Bob TheRock , you still got that picture?

Sorry to hear about your computer, TheRock. The truly sucks. I have a set of cables that hook up to a hard drive directly and the USB port of the new computer and you can transfer all your stuff from the old hard drive to the new one. They saved my life a couple of times.
