> > > So, I won't be posting for the next 9 days... I get back August 8th. We're actually only biking 5 of the 9 days of the trip... 3 days at the beach at the end, and one break day in the middle... I'll be on today, from time to time, but I thought I'd post this now so I don't forget or something like that. I'm "looking forward" to coming back and having approximately 72 threads I have to read... or at least attempt to. I'll probably miss this forum at some point.... for example, while I'm going up a killer hill. "Jeez, why didn't I just stay home? I could be laughing at something on RinkWorks right now!" but most of the time I'll be having fun. So, see you guys in a week or so!

(Heh... somehow, I avoided being lampooned at all, here. Can't have that.) Well, dear, I'll try my very hardest not to post another five thousand messages before you get back. I can't promise anything, mind you, but I'll try to keep my posting in the mid-to-low three thousands ;-}.
