Can't wait DR! BTW, the new harness arrived in GB today. Tim says it's a thing of beauty! Thanks again for your expert help.

See you in a month!

Dayum. I guess I need to make my reservations now huh. This will be my first SITM. I'm trying to get some other shark owners to come as well.

I'll keep you updated.

I got my room. I had to take a 'pet friendly' room, but if living w/my pets hasn't killed me yet, neither will someone elses. I just spent three days in a tent at Road Atlanta. Just so long as there aren't any 'presents' left over.

That's the reason I took the "kennel"!

I'd have you Kevin, but my wife might object...

BTW, when are you heading down? Are you caravaning with a central PA group, and if so, maybe we can chart a course to meet up somewhere en route? We are planning to head down Friday morning...Not sure I could keep up with you tho!
