Thanks all, I appreciate it. Things are going ok, I don't think my numbers today were great, but not terrible either. Meeting some great folks and learning a LOT! I get one more test run on Saturday. I'm beat, it's all day on our feet chatting it up. I feel like I'm at a trade show, it's just as exhausting, and I'm way out of my depth. I'm really honored to be here though. I'll keep you guys posted when I can.

Glad to hear that you arrived safely, Matt. Enjoy yourself.

I am interested in hearing how you make out in DC. Your stove design is awesome and I really hope they see that. Since you can build it yourself with basic materials and very little money your design can be reproduced for the common man which I think is a Huge plus. I hope they take that into consideration. Good Luck Matt.

What's going on in DC, anyway? Some sort of green show or stove show?

Since Matt is tied up and busy I will try to give you my understanding of what is Happening. This is a competition, the event was by Invitation only, there will be a winner and a prize. It was a Big Deal just to be invited. Matt is in very good company here, these are the top stove designers in the country. He was very torn about making the trip to DC to compete, the group encouraged him to go. I hope he does well, but win, lose or draw it is great to just be there and compete.

Still driving! I'm in Wyoming now, so I should be back home Tuesday night. I really miss hanging with you all here and have so much to share but poking at this touchscreen drives me nuts! Talk to you guys in a couple days, I've got so much to tell you!

It will be good to have you back Matt. Your input has been missed. I will be on sort of a road trip myself, talk to you when I get back. I do want to hear about your experiences in our Nations Capital . Welcome Home Young Man.

Can't wait to hear all about it!

Be careful driving everyone!

I'm home! And holy cow am I tired. I have to drive a few hours tomorrow for the holiday, then I'm coming home and will sleep for 3 days I'm sure.
