	We will miss you (and several other regulars) this year. When I speak of "Portland" I am 
really talking about the camaraderie of the campground...

>There is always next year.

	Ah, yes... the world motto of troubled farmers everywhere, "maybe next year"...
   


	I do definitely plan to be there but attendance is more at risk this year than ever 
before... My mother is doing much worse in the mental department and unless she will 
cooperate with treatment (meds) and get her behavior back in line, things could get 
really messy very soon. She is driving the staff at the home absolutely bonkers. I just 
tell them "welcome to my world of the last several years"... There is a whole bunch of 
them and they get to leave at the end of their shift. There is just one of me...    :-)
	I really "need" Portland...   :-)   I am not sure what I will be bringing tractor-wise. 
I had hoped to bring several with some implements to demo like last year (but without the 
ankle deep standing water) but I don't think that will be possible. Almost everything 
needs some minor repair or the other and I have been unable to work on them yet.
