I called him a few weeks back to see if he was going to the VA rally, and he wasn't.
He has a 'real' job now, driving a road grader I believe. But with that new job comes the lack of vacation time for the new guy. He has basically had to back out of the pecan business for various reasons.
And something about his PC not working right, and no time to even have it looked at.
I suspect he won't be able to make it to the rally at Cruso. He may stop by the Georgia campout in September.
