So what was the lesson we learned from the build? That we have more fun interacting with all the other flyers and laughing at our shortcomings than flying. So we fly to meet, and we meet to fly. It is the ying and yang of Baylands. We need the friendship more than the flight time. And Gary's Building Session proves this one more time. Crazy Ted Pete,

I'm highly motivated to make the next one. To all... my admiration for the energy-effort done on this... please do make a next one! Thanks. Al.

We can start the drinking around 1pm after the coffee runs out (it will be 5 o'clock somewhere). I'm sure that after about 3pm building and combat will become more challenging. And who doesn't like a challenge? Plus it will make my photos way more interesting! Saturday was lots of fun, I'm looking forward to the next one. Gary did an amazing job and the turnout was phenomenal. Pete, your pictures really captured the spirit and camraderie! And Mike, thank you for the compliments! Congrats to everyone who got stars! =0) I vote to turn this into a proper Symposium. We can start the drinking around 1pm after the coffee runs out (it will be 5 o’clock somewhere).
