See you at Horse Pens 40 (and a last-minute request).

Remember to transport your firearms according to Alabama law (in the trunk unless you have a CC permit) and find the check-in table for the rally when you arrive.

We may have a last-minute glitch with the digital video camera and tripod for the speeches. Can some Threeper bring a back-up just in case?

Thanks,
