Great time, as usual. Thanks also to Basic Patrick's better half as she pulled and announced ALL those raffle ticket numbers. Always great to see friends and meet new folks. TDF made the ride home easier at that hour. Thanks Kevin. Paul, thank you too.

Thank you to George aka Numbskull, for guiding me through a very thorough teardown of an Abu 6501. Learned a ton, picked up some ideas for DIY tools that make the job easier, and now feel I could open up a conventional, clean, lube, AND get it back together. FWW called it an Abu autopsy and Mac said he had never torn one down so thoroughly himself! Fortunately my reel was pretty clean, so we could complete the job while simultaneously checking all our losing raffle tickets!
