SCI Report - Day 2

Flew into Reno from San Jose Tuesday afternoon without incident and on a plane only half full.

Wednesday at the show was like it used to be, ie; not too many people and easy to get around. Met with Marc Watts, Buzz Charlton and old friends from many African countries.

Thursday was more crowded and I expect Fri & Sat will be more so. Visited with Craig Boddington and Mintyman is a no-show so far (big surprise, yes?). Spoke with Ivan Carter - he's gonna become a Daddy in June. Met with more old friends, examined the Sabatti 500NE DR (looked good to me). Everyone seems pleased with the bookings so far. Snowing as we departed.

I did not buy a safari (yet) but may do a 2x1 tuskless with Buzz for this year. Did buy a return fishing trip to Alaska with Tim Berg.

I fly home tomorrow.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson
