Oh, man ... thanks for pointing THAT out!

Now I have to search through Marc's other pictures to see if there's one of the FRONT of the truck. Damn.

PS Marc, I got your CD, thank you it is great, US Mail's "Rural Route" delivery person nearly ruined it as the case was cracked but the CD's okay.

Why are you paying so much attention to his backside, Stumble?

Can't help since it's been plastered all over the place. Glad to see he's moved to a frontal view now.

It's important to put your best side forward for others to see. You always want to make a good impression.

What do you mean you feel like 10 again? Wasn't that only a couple years ago? And, don't blame me for this. Stumble and Pilot started it.

And which Rangers you like; SPD, Morphin, Mystic force, Dino Thunder, Ninja Storm, Turbo....? I will try to oblige.

Well I feel like a 75 year old because I don't know any of these characters. There must have been something in the wine at Rao's nish...avatars and postings have been off the wall since the meet and you can't blame it on Las Vegas...LOL

Since we met, they've all realized how insufferably chidish I am and they're taking advantage of me for it.

You are right, Jack, can't blame it on Vegas. I am blaming my (almost) 5 year old Spend a week with him and you will feel younger than AsianML.

Did anyone ever notice that the seat belt chime is almost non-existant, or is it just mine? Anyhow I am thrilled its that way.

It IS almost non existent!

I HATE those dang chimes. Who decided I need a nanny? I should not have to listen to that in any car. IMO.

That's what happens when you meet one another. Comfort. And, yes, it is Las Vegas' fault... without it, we would have never met in person.

I bet ol' Waiting-4-550 is practically completely freaked out by now.

BTW... Waiting-4-500... that post about audio presets took the cake for me. About fell on the floor when I read that one. Was wondering what in the world you used to drive, or whether you had set any stations up in the last car. Thanks for the laugh!
