Hey, driving that monster truck in the snow was fun. Didn't think I'd actually make it up that narrow alley on the hill without sliding into the houses on the side!
In addition to my help, fellow BFW'ers Nancy, Aaron and Jay also contributed their much-appreciated assistance to the effort as well. Thanks folks. I concur with Dar about the new location. It's in a great spot and should contribute significantly to the success of the organization. Count me in to do some wrenching in '08.
