HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ruide.....

Sorry for the lateness of the return post. I just found it today.

Not much has changed. Because of you and Joe we are able to keep the trailer for a while. THANKS a bunch.

Bruce is liking his new job but wishes he could get out of the office. He really misses his old job driving truck. He is not much of a office type.

Patty is still out of work. She has been doing some volunteer work for the State Dept of Ed teaching folks that have positions that she use to have. The thought is maybe she can get here name out there. we will see what happens.

Our astronomy club is taking us on a week long trip to two star parties. We will be leaving this afternoon to the Oregon Star party and then leave there on Wednesday to the Idaho Star party. I have observatory duty Saturday the 22nd but should be a good time.

We were not going to attend this year but the club decided that not attending was not an option. I guess the public looks forward to the new scope classes I do every year. So, the group is paying the cost to go and a good friend is driving our rig there and back for us. It is getting hard to make long drives in short time frames. This trip will be just under 1800 miles in 7 days.

So as soon as Patty gets back from church today we'll be pulling out. it's about 300 miles to the O.S.P. George thinks we should be pulling in around 9 tonight. Then the long trip starts Wednesday morning to Mountain Home. It will be just under 12 hours there.

So all in all it should be a good trip.

See ya in later & thats for ask about us.

Ray,

How are things with you? I'm wondering if things have settled down regarding your E3 financing and if your wife got a job.
