 ________________

 Wanted to have some fun with this one, so I opened it up for a 
 Multi-Op, but everyone was sick, and those who showed worked on
 projects around the shack or just observed. Came up with the idea
 for the name while I was getting my brakes fixed on the Cat Mobile
 this morning. What a blast!  All my observers enjoyed listening to
 the reactions from the other end of the QSO's!  Best reaction was 
 a delayed one from someone who finally made the connection after
 our second contact on another band. A laid-back and most enjoyable
 effort from the Cat House this time.  Will be back with a new
 name next time!
