Hi, Jen! Glad to have found you again.

I had to laugh when they called me a "junior member". I guess I don't do enough gabbing or coming up with weird topics. It must be the number of posts made, since you and I have roughly the same "seniority date" on this forum (and I suspect on the calendar as well).

Looks like we'll have a few bells and whistles to play with now...I'll have to get my daughter to explain some of this stuff.

I have found you, but I do not know where here is.
FYI The union pacific #3985 ( challenger ) Will be running in Nebraska on Saturday. It will be running up the Yoder Sub. It will depart Cheyenne WY in the morning and run up to Yoder Nebraska. I have no idea if you are close but know you know.

David - I have never heard of Yoder NE, could it be another name? I am on the east side of NE - Lincoln. Would love to see the Challenger again - it has been quite a few years since it did go thru here.

No Kevin, it means you have been spending too much time on your computer. I think Jen might be right about you[:0]

Kev - I have a picture of you in my mind already. You are tall - probably 5'10 or 11, thin, have sandy-red hair and wear glasses. You are considered "wiry", which means you don't sit still for a second. You probably even "run" in your sleep. Constant motion! How's that for a picture?
