Glad to see you posting.
Any chance we could see some pics of your ride?
Enjoyed chatting with you and your son at the show!
For some reason I have issues with posting pics here. I use an Amazon Kindle and it sometimes doesn't like certain formats. Ill try with my iPhone...
@mtull @M1GRD @FF376 Here is my list of sayings. As I was telling M1GRD at Carlisle, I worked with MANY young engineering co-op students who could not understand all of my little sayings that I often used. So I made a list that became required reading for all incoming co-op students. I don't think that I can share a word document, so I am cutting and pasting the list here. I made the initial list, then a coworker in his thirties added to it saying that he got from his grandfather.
