Doug - Could you promise weather & temps like we had a few years back at Shabbona?

Alright Steve, we got Two so far, You & I. Your right, we need some down staters to join us. Who's next ???

Betsey, I can't make promises like Karl does, perfect weather and rainbows.
I will however, assure you, that we will eat, very well, and probably often.
We will count you as a wait and see.
