Hi Matthias! Outstanding, the boys hopped on a cargo flight from Cedar
Rapids today and should be getting to Munich late today. The boys have
been in Germany once last year but were very eager to go back as they had
a great time. Clumpy is very good with CAD and Kloumpios said he was
willing to learn. If may not be a good idea to let them run your Cats as
they sometimes get a bit ambitious. And you should have heard the howls
when they realized they missed BAUMA - that looked like a overwhelming
show to attend and participate in, especially with some of the large
machines. Do they really have some of the big equipment actually running -
live action?

The early bird catches the worm. :-) (... or better the night owl..)
Your Thursday night was my Friday morning, I was still working on
some CAD layouts...
What a pity, Clumpy and Kloumpios just missed the BAUMA... an
absolutely MUST for all little and big boys... http://www.bauma.de/
Can you send the boys to Munich Airport, I'll pick up them anywhere
in the freight area. Do the boys have any CAD skills? They can really
help me with my CAD library (big pile of datasheets on my desk, new
stuff for these layouts). I'd give them a Cadstar crash course. If
the libray work is done or if they need a break, they can have much
fun with our two cats. Later they could visit Munich. If I remember
correctly, Clumpy and Kloumpios were never in Germany or especially
in Bavaria...
