Re: PCLS steamup at Tony's (SF Bay Area)
Hi Mike, Hope all ok at home now. We missed you at the steamup. We had 10 steamers and a couple of spectators show up. Weather was great. Everyone had a really good time and plenty of steaming. You are welcome to come over anytime when you have a free weekend day. Regards, Tony D. At 09:05 AM 4/23/01 -0700, you wrote: Tony, I am sorry that I was unable to attend your open house. We had a medical problem develop Friday night that carried over into the weekend the precluded leaving the area for even a few hours. Everthing seems to be coming back to normal. Look forward to a future visit. mp --- Anthony Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Gary, Yes you missed a very good day. Did not expect weather to be so good after Friday,s storm.

David and Jon, What do you expect when you are visiting an English rose garden and steamup!. May even get some smoke plumes!. Tony D. PS. If it is too "damp" for you guys, you can always come back Sunday. I hear it is supposed to be 10 degrees warmer and very sunny At 03:19 PM 4/20/01 -0700, David M.
