Re: GENERATORS AND NORCO RIDE

["John Bass" <jbass@beattynv.com>]

Debbie,
Fair Warning. I will be attending the ride in Norco. I'm bringing my
motorhome with generator. I plan on using the generator. You won't hear it
early in the morning or late in the evening but if you listen closely you
may hear it Friday afternoon and again on Saturday after the ride.
John
