I've finally come to the sad conclusion that there's no way I'm getting this thing done in time. Not without cutting so many corners that I would be disappointed in the final result. I've worked too hard and too long (3.5 years) to half-ass the final details. So as much as it pains me, I will not be attending this year.
Driving the 12 hours, 700+ miles to the IRG was not going to be the wisest maiden voyage anyway, especially with a three year old and a wife who's not much of a camper (yet!).
Save a place for us in 2010. We'll be seasoned teardroppers by then!
Gage, The sad thing is that I'm actually even further along than that. I got the skin cut for the sides over the weekend. However, I'm not retired, so I have to keep my clients happy first, build the TD second. That leaves me only a couple hours a day to work on it at most, and that's just not enough. And as you say, take your time, do it right, there will always be another gathering.
Thanks for your kind words, Eddie. Dean and I were discussing how you were such a good link for people in the SW, and how much we enjoyed meeting you/wife and seeing your tear (and obviously others did too as you got the Spirit Award).
