[ausev] Agenda from Saturday's meeting

Tue Jul 11 23:12:37 GMT 2006

I've still got your rear rack, Erik; give me a call when you want to grab it.

Unfortunately I will not be in town this coming weekend or most of the one
after. So my usual session will not be on, but it sounds like there's
plenty to do around here!
