Hi Folks,

This is going to be quick tonight. At 0130 9/15/99 I have been unable to contact our Web site server. It may be down due to Floyd. Our best wishes go out to all of you in Florida whether or not Floyd has you bore sighted. [Melbourne experienced winds of about 65mph and lost power for about four hours from the storm as it brushed by. The most appropriate description is that we didn't dodge a bullet, we dodged a cannonball. In any case, there was very little damage around town, no damage to our ISP and once the power came back, all was well. - MSW]

Welcome Aboard all!

Bronco Fest is only 22 days and a wake-up. We've decided to not charge a late fee this year, since we got a late start ourselves. So, let us know quick if your coming so we can set a place for you.

Best regards,
