If the wind stays as it is we will leave the island on the boat and grab RG on the way...... However, the forecast is for much worse than it is now.. So Cessnaair and I will probably stay put for the day.

RG hike on over and we can share some peanut butter sandwiches!

Sounds tasty, but if I did that, you'd be leaving the island to bring me to Huggins Hospital.

I am allergic.

I miss nuts so much.

Hi Folks--

I just wanted to say thank you for an amazing event! It was so nice to have met you face to face! The atmosphere and food were great--Many thanks to all who had a hand in organizing it!

Thanks to everyone who attended the ForumFest yesterday. The Lakeside Deli & Grill was a perfect location and they provided an outdoor buffet that was fantastic and took great care of us!

This year's ForumFest was a simple gettogether and we didn't have the raffle, speeches or other structure like in past years. Everyone seemed to enjoy just being able to chat and enjoy some great food. As always it was fun to meet some new people and put a face to their forum aliases.

The windy conditions on the lake prevented several people from getting off the islands and I heard that someone coming up from Alton by boat had to turn back. The attendance was a little smaller than usual but I'd estimate that about 40 or more people came by at some point during the afternoon.

I didn't take many pictures and we didn't get a group shot this year. Others were taking pictures too and I hope you'll post a few here.

Thanks again to everyone who dropped by!

I was sorry to have, once again, not been able to get there. Family stuff happening that I didn't know I was supposed to go to. Thanks for the notice wife!

And once again....Maybe next year.
