Three and a half weeks and almost $3k later, and I finally have it back from Schneider Autohaus. Yep, it was a lot more expensive than I thought it would be. But it's now on a firm foundation and the stuff that could easily break on a 30 year old car have been fixed. It's by no means "done", but it should be thoroughly roadworthy at this point. Here's what was done...

I had the priviledge of attending the OmnisCentral Americas conference in Palm Springs CA on August 26th to 30th. Kudos to Clifford Ilkay and David Ferri for putting on a great conference at Doral in Palm Springs. More kudos for "the Bobs" from Omnis/Raining data. Last Kudos to David Swain and Jim Pistrang for their seminars getting me up to speed on Omnis Studio. Photos here.

It started with a simple auction on eBay...

At the end of July I took a long business trip to help manage some conferences. The 2006 Solanaceae/PAA Conference asked us to help run their conference in Madison, Wisconsin, and then I went on to our Botany 2006 conference at Chico State in northern California. See photos here.

Santa Barbara Community Church again had a group of people going to Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands chain off the California Coast. Photos of this trip here.
