Great pics Skipster. Know you guys had a ball.

I called Skip one day while they were on vacation,,said he was in the desert hiking but I think he was untieing that saucer shaped deal we all saw on the news. You have anything to do with that Skip ?

Every year I think it can't get any better and every year "It gets better". 530 balloons this year. Attendance is down a bit because of the economy. It's usually around 850 balloons. It's not just about the balloons. It's more about the annual gathering of the "H Row Family". "H" row is a launch site designation. There's about 20 members in the family and every year we dominate the H row. It's become such a tradition that the Fiesta promoters give us H row every year when we submit our applications. And this year the weather was perfect for the entire month I was gone. Can't hardly wait for the Letchworth event in New York. And NO, Larry, I didn't have anything to do with that silly balloon stunt. That dumbass won't think it's very funny when he gets the bill. And I hope he does.
