Anyway, I had a good time.
I took some pictures, but I haven't had time to trim them down.
John and Karen Bendit throw a fine party. Karen's a sweetheart and makes a really yummy chicken pasta dish. John's thoughtful, well-spoken, thorough and observant.
I spent a fair amount of time talking to Jef. The VandaBlue's outfitted with a bed that I'd put in mine if I had the room and motivation.
John Bendit's aux fuel tank is impressive to see in person.
The 4x4 Sprinter is a labor of devotion and thinking about the amount of research and physical labor it required sorta makes me woozy.
My Sprinter's toupee is a lot more popular than I thought it'd be....
I always think of my own postings as more noise than signal, but apparently the signal's not only getting through, but people like the content and that was warming to find out.
