Probably not. I was really active on LUGNET up until Dec. '99;
then I stopped -- I still read groups, but don't actually post
much -- I was less in LEGO mode & more in courting mode, if you
catch my drift. ;) I just did Brickbay & met up with a few LEGO
people through Brickbay; back when the MLS/LEGO soccer bus
came to town.
Now that my wife and I have settled into somewhat of a 'normal'
life, I can start unpacking my LEGO collection. We've bought
a house in Hilliard & I hope -- over the course of the next
year -- to convert part of the basement as a LEGO room. But I'm
no where close, at this point. I've been thinking about making
some of the train tables, but haven't found the time to start
on them. After that, I need to clean, sort & become more
organized, so I can start on some of my project ideas.

I'm thinking Sunday will be better to do for us as well. My
wife will be out of town that Saturday, but back in town
Sunday.

At this point, I'm not very organized for trades as well, but
I thought I just throw it out as an option. I do have some
unopened sets that I'm willing to trade & and some older catalogs.
Instructions are a little iffy; the ones I have to trade are all
newer.
I don't have too many MOC at this point. But what I might be able
to instead is dig out the BURP tub & most of my foliage parts, throw
them onto the the dining room table & see what we can come up with
by the end of the day... Let me do some thinking, I might be able to
come up with an activity or two.
Okay, anyone interested in meeting on Sunday, August 19th, let me
know if you're coming. I will provide directions to our place a
week before the event (via e-mail privately). Also let me know
what themes that you have interest in.
--Mike.
