I've just finished engraving a pair of stainless steel items to give away. There's a "travel mug" and a "water bottle", both adorned with both the Landracing.com logo and Salt Talks 2011. I hope they're received as well as I hope they are received. See you all a week from tomorrow night.

Tom:
Welcome to the forum. Seeing as you're pretty new here -- I want to make sure you are glad to become one of the unwashed masses, so to speak. As for Salt Talks being fun -- yes, we think it is - but then, we've been attending Salt Talks events since #2 - back in '01. And we've been running the event, first for Jon Amo and then for ourselves - since about 2004. It must be fun for us -- or else we wouldn't put up with the hassles of trying to roast hamburgers in the rain and wind.
On another note -- where in Wisconsin, if I might ask? Nancy and I live near Marquette in the UP of Michigan and will drive through a good portion of Wisconsin on our trip later this week. We usually go straight west, through Duluth, but this time are taking I-70 and so will go down through Oshkosh, Madison, and on to Dubuque. Let us know if you're nearby and we'll toot the horn as we got past.
Welcome one more time. See you on the salt.

We are coming from Brookfield which a suburb of Milwaukee. You will miss us if you go through Madison I'm afraid. You have us beat for long distance that's for sure. See you on the salt.

I wasn't sure where to put this post, Dr. Goggles -- so here 'tis. In a fit of girlish enthusiasm - Nancy has already mailed the shirt to you. And then today I realized that I hadn't enclosed the DPS (I'll never tell  ) badge. So - I'm making up a pair of them - you'll see why. And then I'll send them to you soon. Sorry for the cornfusion. |

Here we are in SLC - heading to Bville later this afternoon. Salt Talks II is still on for Wednesday evening, right? Food, raffle, racing-talk, what else? See you then, right? Bend in the Road, probably starting about 5.30 or so.

Freud, you might want to contact Wester Potter regarding the school group as he is the USFRA PR guy.

Good idea about the students and Salt Talks. We've already got plans to exchange some landracing.com stickers for the project car, for instance. And I've got a few $$ to donate to the efforts on behalf of all of us on this site. We'll be waiting to see 'em all.

Well, the car is on the trailer and the "advanced" HS group is driving tomorrow to Wendover - should be at the State Line Quality Inn in the evening; students and chaperones arrive Tuesday afternoon.
We will definitely attend Salt Talks (well, short the sky falling on our heads). Needless to say everyone on the T2011 project is really excited....
look forward meeting new friends - see you on the salt!
Michael
well, a few more things left to do to wrap it up here at home

"State Line Quality Inn"? Unh, I know of the Quality Inn, and the Nugget that used to be the Stateline -- but that's okay, you know where you're going and I don't need to know. Whatever -- it's easy to find the SSS pit trailer, that's for sure -- and Nancy and I will be hanging around there and looking forward to seeing you when you've got time for a quick "howdy". Our pit is front row and close to registration. Unh, these are high school students, right? I remember how much I ate way back when I was in HS -- should we lay in extra burgers?

Wow.
My very first Salt Talks, and I so pleased the SW event got blown out so I could be there for WoS STII.
Thank you SSS and all the folks who put up the raffle prizes.
I was just thinkin I donated a double sawbuck for keepin Landracing. com functioning.
What? Raffle tickets? Talk about kharma.
It means a lot to a team of folks that plan their entire year around WoS.
Gratefully,
Sam & Team Graybeards
