Hey Mike I am spectating but hell if a Death Wing match goes up then I will be competing....
I am going to a chili cook off in Madison this Saturday night. I think its more of a benefit but since we are expecting 8"s of snow it might be just right for the night.

Terrific hope everything goes right and we'll see you and your wife there.

Well, the trailer is loaded, and I'm only at work for about another hour. Connecticut here we come! Luckydog, perhaps you'll hang out with all of us tonight at the "pre-party". Get a hold of Mad Mike for the name fo the place. I see beer in my near future!
