The visit to God's country was great. When work ended, the fun began. Wild Bill whisked me off to the Burton Barn for some of Mulder's best that was finished off with a great bottle of red. The hospitality was great, which means that we will have to ratchet up the hospitality at Gracies the next time Bill is in Ottawa.

After a few hours of discussing everything hobby wise, Craig Tanner joined us for dessert. Those Herring Chokers know how to make one feel at home. The conversations were fun and informative.

Following the BS session, Bill squired us out to the barn. It was an honour to stroll through "Diamond T" territory. It was not difficult to surmise that a military man ran that shop. It was clean and tidy. Even the Tonka trucks had a parking spot...

So, thanks Bill. I truly enjoyed the meal and conversation. I am looking forward to your visit at BB this summer.
