Good Morning,    
     A very pleasant weekend of driving, bargain hunting, and talking of iceboating was had by all. There were many bargains at the speedway swap meet, and many were swapped. Unfortunately the state of the art DN fuselage and plank combo that I had on display, car topped back to Maine with me, despite the 25% discount I had offered. 
     I must thank all who attended our CIBC Fall meeting on Sunday and contributed the fine eats. The Borscht that Courtney made fresh the day of meeting with most of the ingredients grown by her, was incredible. Organic breads cheeses and more really amazed me. As I was cleaning up post party I also discovered a bouquet of zinnia that I suspect was her delivery. As everyone hit the road at about 1500, it came to mind again just how much iceboating is a driving sport. I believe Paul had the longest drive of more that 5hr. Iceboating does require a substantial number of road miles per ice mile. 
     The third reason for this post, when I was cleaning up after you all departed there were a couple of of items left behind. A filet knife, plate, and a jacket. Please let me know to who these belong. I hope you all travelled safely, and are Thinking Ice, I am.
