Thanks also to everybody who brought additional food and beverages and those that helped me putting my top up and down on my car due the the rain shower. Thanks to Eric for the grill, the fuel and source of ignition. I'm sure if a ranger dropped by the fire extinguisher was a good sign we were serious.</span>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">By way of an apology, I should explain that food safety was a big deal when I was on the Search & Rescue Task-Force. Entire teams were sidelined by poor food prep and safety. Add to that, I was a Salvation Army canteen driver & crew chief for their Emergency Disaster Services group for several years and the objective was food safety and to get people fed fast. The crew chief is the driver and head cook. Therefore, I become quite focused when doing that sort of work so I may have been a bit short with folks yesterday and I was not circulating very well to talk to people. I could hear Eric behind me doing the social piece so I appreciate him doing that.</span>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">We have had small informal discussions that if the burn ban trend continues and Eric is driving a Corvair we may not have his grill. Be thinking about how we can compensate. Bringing BBQ or Catering might be an alternate.</span>
