    Would like to go to celebrate and meet some of you fine folks but I'll be out of state on a, long weekend, mini vacation. I'll probably miss out on the Halter's certificate too if enough people complete the challenge. But that's ok, I really enjoyed doing it and reading about everyone else's...
