John -

Yes, it was at least as busy as Friday, probably moreso. The parking
lot was packed full. Saw a lot of stuff that wasn't there on Friday,
but didn't make note of it since I was busy working much of the time.

Attendance was excellent, we did better than we ever expected. October
is set, probably next May too. A good representation of military gear
and vehicles, plus many good deals to be had. Trevor, KD1YT hopes to
have his newly-acquired M-37 ready for October.

Was good seeing you and the others there. Most of my free stuff went
to new homes. Had several offers to buy the GRR-5 off the tailgate of
my truck, but resisted the urge. Wasn't difficult.

Best of all - there were no black flies!
