I've been asked to do a clinic at the convention, and I'm hoping to pack the room with friendly faces.

So... who's going? http://www.mer2017.org/

I'm trying to figure out my game plan.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

I'll be there for the most of the convention, and am presenting a clinic on Saturday morning.  Unfortunately, it is at the same time Lee Rainey is making a presentation about Mt. Union, which I would have liked to attend.    :|

Restoring PCC cars!   :D   Although with how things have been going lately, I'm glad I didn't have "...for fun and profit..." in my clinic title.  :facepalm:

Seriously, when we complete a PCC car rebuild, it is intended to last for 20 years of daily service in San Francisco. I'll have photos of the restoration process and explain a bit about what we at Brookville Equipment do with these old PCCs as well as other aspects of our business.
