Hi folks, It looks like we may have 2-3 extra seats. IF you are interested, send me a PM and we'll work out the details. The agenda now includes a Sunday afternoon, Oct. 7, of block heaters, technical talk and a cook-out (Thanks Jud!) It promises to be a great time to share original approaches to Prius and hybrid studies. If you need just a block heater installation and are near Ft. Thomas, KY on Sunday, send me a PM. Bob Wilson
