ASTM's

Cool. Ya don't have to me a mover or a shaker to attend. It currently appears that helmets and standardized flex systems will be the hot topics.
I think Rainbow should do a feature story on her first trip to ASTM. Then later when she is all famous, and a member of the US Senate, they can run a feature movie!
Opinions?
Perhaps when the meeting are ovr we could walk over to the White House and visit with George W?

Actually, I like "stroking" into over head surf, on fall off-shore mornings, when its nice and "vertical", at the Rock, in Morro Bay, with a few friends, and some dolfins in the line up. :yes:

However, I'm accepting all gifts in DC.
See ya then.


I'm gonna call George W in a little while....about that new cabinate post I want.....Director of Monkey Business. :P

Well I learned the hard way today not to go walking alone in DC :confused: This guy started following me around and was reallly creepy so I went into a coffee shop and they called the cops.

If only I had known Steve Chappell was going shopping, I could have saved myself all the drama :crying:

I enjoyed attending the meetings. I learned a lot. Nothing dramatic happened. We talked about helmets and poles and passed motions to keep talking about helmets and poles.

That's the short version.

I have pictures. I'll have to sort through and see which ones are interesting enough to post :devil:
