Day four was completed without picking up a single machine.  Although  
the ones in the trailer had a rough ride in the trailer over these  
terrible roads.  Talk about our infrastructure crumbling!

Highlight of day four was a visit to the ARRL headquarters in  
Newington.  If you have never been you need to be sure to add it to  
your bucket list.  It is well worth the trip.  The guided tour was  
great as are the tour guides.  Volunteer Hams by the way.  And the  
W1AW shack was like you had died and gone to heaven!  Decided not to  
operate as W1AW as I knew I wouldn't want to quit.  And besides as my  
guide George said, once you throw out a CQ as W1AW you'll have a big  
pileup.  Had to get moving on down the road and get that blown out  
trailer tire replaced so just visited Hiram's shack and drooled!

Spent the night in Scranton, PA.  Should make the Cleveland area with  
ease to pick up a couple of machines going to Dr. House.  Should see  
you tomorrow Don.

Hi Steve,

I made the trip to central PA a couple of years ago and the roads were  
terrible then.  After you cross into Ohio you will see the roads  
improve.  Our guest room is all spiffed up awaiting your arrival.   
Glenna has several menu choices for you, as well as dessert choices.   
She would absolutely love to know the approximate time of your arrival  
here in Ringwood to continue her planning.  We are cleaning the house  
from stem to stern and hope it will pass your inspection.  My office  
and the basement do NOT count!!!!
I am going to disassemble the 28 KSR and bring it up to the garage for  
easy loading where I will reassemble it.  A full box of sprocket paper  
goes with the machine.  Should the ultimate recipient obtain a  
friction feed typing unit, I will want the sprocket feed unit returned  
to me as well as the paper.  I will pay the shipping via my FedEx  
Ground account.  We are looking forward to meeting you and your  
saintly wife.
