That is a great idea. One of the things that I never seem to be able to do in Austin is get to meet the other guys. We (I) tend to stay with the people we know in our local groups. We talk to each othr all year long on this site but don't get a chance to really meet each other. I told myself I was going to try and meet as many people as I could this year. I did meet some, but not nearly enough. I did get to meet Ed this year for one.

How can we do a better job at that than we are? I don't know!

I will say again that I really enjoyed this years outing and yea the parking could have been better, but remember the more simple we keep these the better off we are.

I too was very concerned about the floor at Origin this year and told Tom about it. These floors are designed to flex or bounce as most of you noticed. The problem comes into play when the bounce stops. It stopped this year and it stopped last year. I think we are pushing our luck here guys I really do. I work with pre stressed floors every day and I do not like the way that one reacts to the load. None of us knows the engineering streeses (load) that floor was designed to accomodate, but rest assured we are or were VERY close to failure this year. The flex (or bounce) stopped. That is not good. I like the parking lot idea better if we can keep the cars grouped together. I know that will be a challange but we should at least look into it. It could save our very lives!
