[kwlug-disc] [kwlug-announce] Meeting Monday: Gitlab, Swap Meet (Sept 2018)

[CrankyOldBugger]

I remember some time ago volunteering my truck for the swap meet.
When/where do you want it?

Please note that due to a variety of dumb injuries and plain old age, I'll
need some help with the loading and unloading....
