We certainly couldn't we forget Team 888 (bright red shirts) and we 
enjoyed talking with you guys.   If you're thinking about building a 
combat tank and you need some help, just let us know and we'll lend a 
hand.  Just be sure to get the old "parental approval" before you start 
and be aware that you'll be battling a bunch of old men ... we may not 
be as fast as you, but we're twice as devious ;-)

My workshop is open every Friday night if you want to see some of the 
tanks in detail, get some advice or even work on things.  We will also 
be having a full-scale war on June 9-10 down in Waldorf, with details 
posted sometime next week.  You're welcome to come watch and you may 
even be able to operate one of the vehicles or artillery pieces if 
available.  If you already have a paintball mask, please bring it along.
