	Hi Gene:

	I still plan to be there. I think I will get there Thursday 
and stay until Sunday. Diana is planning to come up Friday 
morning. Thats the plan, of course sometimes plans go stray 
off and go bad...  ;-)
	I thought I might pull my tandem trailer with the WUV. I've 
never pulled it with the van before but while it will have a 
load it will not be like hauling a tractor and I will have a 
bunch of stuff in the van and can load a good bit of weight 
amidships of the van to keep good weight on the front tires. 
I have pulled a single axle trailer with about 60 bales of 
hay on it and it handled it just fine.  The tandem is a lot 
more stable. I'm only 2 hours away so I'll just take my time 
and won't be driving any interstates. I want to use the WUV 
so I can toss an air mattress in the back. I hope it doesn't 
get as cold as it did two years ago...   :-)
	BTW, if you get any early word on the date of the Portland 
work day next year let me know and I'll put it on my 
calender. I intended to be there this year but Scott and I 
had already made other plans that weekend.
