Hey Art,
  Welcome back to the great PNW on the 28th. Are you gonna be driving or flying up ?
  If you are not bringing up a boat I'd be happy to let you use our Hobie Outback . We won't be using it probably due to both Lori and my own health crap. We would rather see someone catching fish , or at least trying to catch fish, than to see the boat in the garage gathering spider webs.
  I'll give you a call soon so we can plan a meet up. You are a man I admire and feel I can learn a lot from. And not many people still alive that I can say that about. But you at a real unsung hero. And I would be honored to share a campfire with you.
