Well,

Since I was relegated to the outdoor portion of the show, here are some of my pics. I notice that a great deal of them are out of focus. Not sure why 😉 Please note Scott's excellent handwriting. It helped him whiz right through grade 5.

Here's one of the happy loving couple we call Dave and Ruth, our gracious hosts.

Here is one of Chris. We worked hard at finding the right angle to capture his essence.

 

[Cal Weldon]

As the stairs weren't really cooperating, this is where I got to spend much of my time.

Framing Chris' portrait are the open baffles, with a pair of Korean 6" full-ranges designed for just such an application. These garnered many, many kudos.

Cal was/is sufferng from what comes before a root canal, and was heavily sedated. Stairs were a bit much to operate.

Here are the "extended" open baffles (3 sheets of Illusus' mercedes floor board super ply). Who says open baffles can't do bass?

If you look here, you'll find an excellent use for old tubes. These are being implemented as "passive phase valves" on some one off Korean drivers Dave had lying around, that after dawning the beer muffs, started sounding mighty fine.

While I was there and no one was looking, I poked my nose into the back area and guess what I found?

Nitrous oxide?

Here's a better shot of Chris playing "watch me mount the driver to the baffle without looking at the screws"

Tim and Ally made it up from Seattle to enjoy some fine Canadian beer

 

[Cal Weldon]

Frank was there. Looks like he poked Tim in the eye just before the shot was taken.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Brent was there also. The pic does him no justice. He's actually quite smart.

 

[Cal Weldon]

We can't forget Don

One of the disappointments was that Jason didn't have his business cards ready, but he did find some fun in this little story book. It's a XO mounted to a $2(?) book/box that Tim brought up for us to see. What a clever idea. Jason thinks so too.

 

[Cal Weldon]

One more of Chris playing "tokyo" He sure was busy guy.

And saving the funniest guy for last, we have Scott. If you don't know Scott, you haven't really had a good laugh in life. I mean that, the guy's hilarious...

When you've had a half doz or so...
