As usual Jeff out did himself with the updates and info sharing via the web that allowed so many of us to vicariously enjoy the show. Now the work Jeff did might have been a bit more visible than some of the others but I think we should likely extend a big thank you to everyone involved with the show and the coverage that was undertaken by MRH.

OK time for "What's on your workbench". With the kids off to school and the last summer holiday coming up it'll be time to get back into some serious modeling.

Let's see what you have on the bench for the coming cold season ahead.

Today was one of those days when you begin wondering why you woke up.... especially since I had only gone to bed about 5 1/2 to 6hrs earlier.

Got the clinic office opened up and had a bit of a crowd descend on it. One negative side effect of being open a lot earlier and later than any of the other offices is that people decide you are an appropriate person to complain to, even if what they are complaining about (Layout tours in this case) is nowhere within your area of responsibility.
