Well, we're all working hard this rainy Phoenix afternoon. Looks like Seattle outside.
Mario, Anne, and Scott are laboring hard at the Adventure Trailers booth, and Diana and I took the tougher job of wandering around looking at all the exhibits and booths, sampling jerky and Polish sausages, purchasing yet more camping chairs and a replacement roll-up table, and generally wearing ourselves out while the other three just took it easy beside a fire pit. There was no fire in the pit, but the image was impressive.
The weather didn't deter 55 million persons from clogging the aisles and booths of the Expo. The going was so slow at one point that I put my beer down on the top of someone's baby carriage while I stuffed 'just one more' piece of jerky in my mouth. (The other hand was holding a plastic bag containing a bunch of tempting brochures for fly-fishing everywhere from Tierra del Fuego to the Kamchatka Peninsula and all points in between.) I had plenty of time for this maneuver as the parents of the sleeping infant were busy casting the latest bass plugs.
Lots of stuff at these shows. I'm always amazed at just how much more stuff seems to fall under the "must have" category.
We sure liked the Adventure Trailers--both the Chaser and the Horizon. As we were walking away from their booth Diana asked, "Did you get an order blank?" :jumping: Outstanding folks! Now, if I manage a good stop tomorrow for some bakelite, I think I'll be sending in the particulars to Mario, tout de suite. [Note, Scott! That's French. Hint, hint.]
Next is dinner at the Fish Mkt. :eatchicke (Hey, that's a chicken!)
