Thanks Mike. Very good. Keep it coming. Hoping to see interviews of the international guests especially, as well as closeups of the individual gasifiers. I know you can’t enjoy it as much when you are behind the camera, but we really appreciate you sharing your experience with us.

I just wanted to be one of the first to say, I made it home, and I am having a hard time coming back down to earth-- it was the greatest get together I have attended.
I planed on saying a lot here, but as Keven quite politely mention, my posts get too long. So, this is my condensed version with probably more to follow later.
This is totally uncharacteristic of me and no one but my wife knows the real meaning behind of it, but; Thank you God, your most obvious part was the weather, but for the people who worked to put it on and others who contributed by coming, and for the safety of all the people on their trips, right down to providing use with the chemistry and experiments with wood gas. Thank you God TomC

That was the short version, This is not;
Thank you Ron and Ronda for All you did, but basically for putting the get together, together. Mike Reynolds for assisting in keeping things running so well. Of course all of the ladies who just because of their devotion to their husbands, kept us all fat and sassy. I didn’t bring my truck, but appreciated each and every truck that made the trip to Argos as a show and tell. ( I got several rides in other members truck which even though I have a truck of my own, was and enjoyable, enlighting experience.) Thanks to the people that live on the dark side for bringing their displays, and of course the “father of the dark side” Garry Gilmore for coming with his truck and demonstrations. We had a very nice night around the fire with music which is always an enjoyable end to a day. I apologize for not meeting our guitar player-- I got to that part a little late. Billy North did a great job of MCing at our meals and his family was very enjoyable with his son Jakob being one of the centers of attraction with the woodgas truck he built ( he had to take many people for rides because he is only 15 and has to have a licensed driver in the truck for him to get to drive it.) And then there are the Europeans who came; Jan-Ola from
Sweden and Kristijan from Slovenia. Where ever they went there was a crowd. We learned a lot technically from them about woodgas, PLUS, much about their custom, life styles etc from sitting and talking with them. A great addition to our get together and I hope others will decide to come in future years and also that JO and Kristijan will return. We had guests that had not perused building a woodgas generator that showed up. The one that stood out to me was a young man that I did not meet, but he was probably in his teens and had heard about woodgas and talked his folks into bringing him to see our Woodgas get together. The last I saw Mr. Wayne ( who if you don’t know who I’m talking about, is Wayne Keith) took them by the hand to show them around.
Well my wife took over many of my choirs so that I could go to Argos, so now I have to come down off this high that I am on, and get back to helping her. TomC

Home by 1:40 am and was in bed by 2!! Great turn out this and it was great to get to meet our friends from abroad.
So this week will be devising some sort of TLUD to make char pellets haha. If I would have had some char to put in the machine I would not have had the issues I had. Oh well, I was able to show my method to free up a tared valve and eventually we got it dialed in and running pretty solid :). Pulled a 2500 watt load for around 2 or 3 hours and we succeeded in getting Danny’s kit build complete and flaring by end of day on Saturday. Good times and thanks for putting on the show!!

Great, this last picture MattR.
Gary’s Low-Tech powering the latest High-Tech.
Obviously a spontaneous picture. The staged-improver-picture guys would have had Gary’s smartphone? plugged into the generator recharging too.
Best Regards
