Steve,

The DMR offerer is off to the big motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South 
Dakota.  Are any of you LUGers
going to be there?  Fantastic photo opportunities. There are even some 
non-Harley  cycles  there!

I have been to a few in my younger days, but my present job does not 
allow any vacation time.

I hear that your Arizona buddy McBush is there too. He offered his wife 
to enter the Miss Buffalo Chip
beauty contest.  I guess that he never saw that contest!

Jerry
