A hearty thanks to all crew that showed up under our banner. Some flew in, drove long distances, but I'm glad to have met each and everyone of you.

Also a warm thanks to ALL those readers that don't post that took the time to introduce yourself and send along your best wishes for the good ship.

I had no idea, really, that we were bringing info to that many people, and I'm sure this is the tip of the iceberg.

Joining with Nofixx in best wishes and thanks to Mr. B, Helen of Troy, (yes, you know who you are) and Dr. B. for the hospitality. Great conversation and friendship. Thanks to Marla for fielding our questions and banter after the meeting.

Some of the crew have touched on the main thoughts presented at the AGM. As we thought, not a lot to add, but yes, positive, optimistic, and almost wanting to shout something, but today was not the appropriate time. Watch for the slide show to be added to the aurelian website soon.

Watch for the draft mining law possibly released Wednesday or Thursday. We'll see where the chips fall then.

It's been a long day and an incredible experience.

P.S. Laross19. I hoisted a Moosehead for you bud, and we all toasted the good ship. Better days ahead.
