Spoke with Dale yesterday and he's having a great time in Germany. Things are going well at the shop with the new machine they have been sent to work on. When he traveled to Germany in 2004 to the same shop they never had any time to sightsee. He was really disappointed that they had traveled all that way and would be working from 7:00am until 8:00pm all week long, he was hoping they would not be doing that again this time. He has been pleasantly surprised, they have been able to see some things in the town of Stuttgart and have been traveling to some surrounding areas after work. Sounds like he has tried lots of German food/bier and has been enjoying most! He sent me this picture of a castle they visited on Saturday, he said they visited four very different castles that day. On Monday it's back to the shop until Wednesday, then on Thursday they leave for Italy to visit a guy (his name is Vince, of course very Italian) that retired from Leupold a few years ago and moved there to be closer to his family. Sounds like he has a very nice place (villa) that also has a vineyard where he grows his own grapes and makes his own wine, I'm anxious to see and hear how that visit goes.
