Hey, I know those guys in photo 2...

BAPM is a great time to see some excellent modelling in person and talk with the builders. My son enjoyed they day there and the raffle is awesome! Next time I can make it, I will bring both my sons and have them bring their models and maybe a FreeMo-N module. It's hard to believe it's the 10th anniversary...keep up the great work Harry and team!

The more models you bring, the more awesome the meet!

Harry, I hope you'll have the best meet ever.

Regards, Bobby

Harry,

What projects will you be showing off from your work?

Bruce

Harry,

I am going to try to make it this time.  If I do or do not make it, we will donate some of our speakers for your door prizes.

Hi Ryan, Bobby & Jeff & All,

Thanks for your kind comments and wonderful support!

Hi Bruce,

Come and see.. Come and see.. =)

Hope to see you all there!

Cheers,
Harry

Harry and crew of BAMP I wish you all the best at the meet.  One of these days I hope to make it out there, but life always gets in the way.

Well that and it's not like I can say I went out for a gallon of milk and took a wrong turn being only 2,394 miles door to door.  Who knows 
perhaps next year.  

I do look forward to the awesome pic's that you guys always seem to take of the meet and models.  Every time I see those K-M units it makes
me want to break mine out and get going on them.  I just have to figure out how to go about re-powering them.

Who's the stranger your son is talking to? :-)

After missing the past couple years I'm now confirming that I will be returning this June for the BAPM'15. Just ordered my tickets for the DCI show in Stanford that same evening as well, so it'll be a double feature for me! Now the big questions, what to bring???

Might be time to change your screen name. It has been a long time since you were the MRL dude!

Oh I've still got every one of my MRL models. The name though is just that, a nickname that was actually given to me by my fellow modelers a little over 10 years ago now.

If only Delta flew to SFO...ah heck, I think I might have some United miles I could use up...

Well I am bummed I will miss it again this year. Family plans have thwarted me again.
