Well, It is Wednesday and there is little news. It is getting closer to the Great Pepper's meeting and I have most of the information that I need to get each of the Pods seated and ready to do CASI business.
It is long after that and we are headed to TICC and a week of activities. The BBQ at Krazy Flats will add a great activity and money for the winners. This is going to be an exciting event!
Watch for the list of new sponsors. We always welcome them. A big thanks to Jim Ezell for his hard work in obtaining support for CASI.

If you have not taken time to go to the web page and read the current Terlingua Trails, you need to do that. It is really a great issue. Thanks Bucky for all your hard work. The result is a great paper!
Well, that's all the news for today! Keep cool and enjoy the last few weeks of summer. There aren't a lot of CCOs this weekend, but the ones that we have are going to be a great place to have a weekend of fun and cooking chili. Plan to attend one of them
