I've grown somewhat disenchanted with large groups myself.I'm much happier
with a small group of 3-6 people.I suspect because some of the guys going to
AKA with me ( they still have jobs) I'll probably be limited to the trip on
Monday. We'll have to do trip some time where we can spend a little more
time there.I've been busy rigging my van up as a fish haulin machine. I'm
installing a DC/AC converter, air pumps and valves so I can aerate coolers.I
also picked up a portable power pack that is rechargeable to run the air
pumps if the van isn't running.
