Home away from home

 Yes, it's that time of year again-teaching my annual class at U.B.I. in Ashland, Oregon. The shop will be closed while I am gone and I will return on the 22nd. This job at U.B.I. is challenging and rewarding. The seven hour drive to get here isn't much fun but the experience once I am here is more than worth it.

I'm staying in a little cabin in the back yard of Mike De Salvo's house-behind the garage that used to be his shop. He since moved to a commercial location a few years ago just a few blocks away. -It is great to be here.
