[Fot] Trailer Update

[Bill Babcock]

Mine too, we bought a much smaller house in Hood River, turned Peyote over to
Tony Garmey to transport and maintain. We'll be selling the house in Portland,
selling Nero (the Airstream trailer), selling the Ferrari, getting rid of a
lot of stuff and playing more/maintaining less. No financial pressure to do it
all, just want more time to play and I just don't need all that stuff.

I'm going to build that TR3 kit I have hanging out, finish peyotifying the
Ambro, sell the big truck and buy something that can pull 7K pounds and a
small trailer to run event that Tony doesn't have other customers for.

Keep me posted on the trailer, it sounds ideal
