Just had confirmation that three members of the Beeton Club are attending our BBQ.
Rudie Nagelmakers, our new Maac Zone Director, will be attending with two other members.

Mark, I guess we should reserve a dozen dogs for the Beeton boys.
Just kidding- two each.

Covering done.
So fragile.
Those who know me, know that I do not use profanity (or very rarely do I).
In this case more than a few chosen curse words were uttered.
Now moving on to the radio and motor installation.
