Hey guys,

First post and would like to add my thanks to everyone for keeping this thread moving. I've read the whole thing, and doing everything I can to be ready for the call. Thanks Hovernut for the update today, just what I needed to hear! Was wondering where I might stand after seeing that long line of heavy qualified guys in Chicago last week, but it sounds good.

Can't wait to visit the infamous grill. Maybe I'll bring something to keep it stocked, like a new scrub brush. I'm a stout guy myself, but I'll gladly take requests!
