Looking forward to it!  I got your awesome snail mail reminder as well.  :D

Would a small amplified speaker and microphone be of any benefit?

Yes, it probably would help.

Looks like y'all are having a nice time! Is that Michael with the guitar? Its hard to tell for sure with the smoke of the fire, which is a nice fire by the way! Glad to see and hear of another successful Beefest!

I want to say thank you to Jim and Judy for their hospitality, and to everyone that showed up for Beefest. The comradery shared, the informative talks and lectures, the sharing of different ideas and and approaches on how to accomplish final goals you want to meet, Along with the time and environment to discuss it all makes this a quality event. So again a huge thank you to Jim,Judy, and to friends old and new that showed up.
