Harold,

I’m working on a batch of cookies for the campers. Really hoping the weather forecast improves.

Harry's wife (Nancy?) made a very good batch of brownies once for Hausmann's. Maybe Harry can ask her to do that again to supplement Sarah's excellent cookies?

I asked him, but he mumbled something about how bad the room service was the last few times he went.

I believe it was 2012 or '13, the first time I went to Ernie's, Allen Maclane and I camped out. Fortunately we had our own tents, as the scene from around the campfire, in Blazing Saddles, came to mind. I believe I was upwind from Allan's tent, but surely not out of earshot. I've been 'rough' camping for better than 60 years, and apart from the luxury of lugging a Webber charcoal grill, still like to rough it. Allen asked what I thought he should bring in the way of food. I like to do a foil pack of vegetables, but when he unpacked a pressure cooker and a couple heads of broccoli, I gathered this was all new to him. It was just he and I those first couple years, but it caught on quickly. We came up with the ribs and beer thing, which seemed to be a hit. Harold (of Pickens Towing Service) brought his smoked pheasant, which added a touch of class. I've never been keen on broccoli since then.

I still enjoy tent camping, and this year will be my 50th consecutive year of an Antique Steam Meet, but it's just inside the limit of 2 hours away, and my spine issue won't allow for the 5 hrs trip to Hausmann's. Enjoy it while you can, and I'll be with you all in spirit.

You will be sorely missed Mr. Spencer. I always considered you the Dean of Camping as you added a bit of decorum to the scruffy bunch of tent dwellers in the back 40.

Enjoy your steam affair.

Edgar are you going to Canandaigua ? Always wanted to visit that show but never did . Sorry you’re not coming I’ve been wanting to meet you in person for a number of years now .
