Getting ready for vacation...

Guys/gals, my wife and I are are leaving for vacation Friday. I'm so busy at work I haven't had much time to sneak a peek to see what's happening here! Preparing to leave for vacation is bad news -- I've got 20 projects to sort out so the "kids" I leave behind at work will do something while I'm gone. (Any other project managers out there know what I mean -- half the job is like babysitting and nagging). Anyway, I'll be back just before "tax day", so I'll try to add some of my "$.02" before I go... I'll miss keeping up on all the new threads. Tommy and MB-BOB, be sure to keep everyone in line :p :o

Have a great trip. I am also leaving tomorrow night for Vegas. I am going to be gone through Sunday and I am leaving the coupe over there in the garage.

Those are some pretty big shoes to fill

I'm actually going on vacation Friday as well, so we might be stuck with MB-BOB as lone gunman. You know that Young wouldn't do it - he can't even moderate the quantity of his own posts! :p

Enjoy the vacation! I'm sure that your "kids" will have fun on the internet, and hurling spitballs at a picture of you pinned to a monitor during your absence.

Heck, they don't wait until I'm gone -- they throw things at ME as soon as they hear me coming down the hall...

This statement comes from a man with an electric blue custom interior. Such a person could not possibly be moderate.:p

Well, I'm late getting to this one. I had a mini vacation today... I skipped work for a golf tournament. Time well spent. I shot a -8... (meaning that I lost 8 golf *****) HA! So, feeling kinda humble today. I think Young or Benzo can handle it, though.

What's there to do, anyway? We don't have any trolls here?
