Updateys of Tuesday the 2nd of Decemberlike of the 2008

Well… I got this message from Candi…

I hate not reading new stuff all the time. Anyone would think you got a job.

Candi

Guess that means I really should get my butt in gear. So- since my last update last week, I was off with T-Girl at Orcas Island in the San Juans where I took a lot of pretty pictures.

See! Well… in OBRA land, if folks are interested, the newsletter is available here. The low version comes in at around 3 MB. I think the high rez version comes in at around 27 MB.

The 2009 applications are available at http://www.obra.org and the Sign-Me 2009 app is available. Remember you can pay via google checkout and not get any surcharges. E-mail me for details on how to do that. If you want to keep your 2007 road number, you have to renew by December 31st. Don’t forget to consider donating to OBRA when renewing- give the amount that you think your membership is really worth. (and it IS tax deductible)
