Lee, I'm sorry but I can't make it this year.
(okay...I hear you people out there...HOLD DOWN THE CHEERING, WILL YA?!!!...I'm tryin' to type here)

After spending big big bucks(and much more than we thought initially) remodeling the house in Prescott, and with a planned visit coming up shortly to Kelowna BC to see my newfound birth mother again(you might have read about this a while back), I just don't have the money to attend what looks like will be an even better rally this year back there.
(and DANG IT!!! You guys got SNOW and SNOWMOBILES lined up this year TOO!!!)

Cheers, and hoist a few for me, will ya?!

(Warning: I'M A-COMIN' NEXT YEAR...HOOK OR CROOK!!!)
