I've gotten accustomed to having Bear and Stoat here, even if part of the time I was way North whilst they were frolicking in churros. I'm going to miss you both terribly, but I am sooooooo glad to have gotten to spend as much time with you as I did! Anytime you need a PNW pad to crash, you will always be welcome here, and we are very serious about visiting your home turf next year, so fair warning!
Hugs and much love to you both.
PS- My sis Vicki loved meeting you both, and will give me a head's up when a certain project is released. (Should be anytime).
