No flyer nothing...by shear luck we found my Moms car and we then had to drive all the way to Pomona 30 miles away. Sheesh , at least I hadnt gotten all dressed up fer nuthin'. My Mom really liked the Fairplex Garden RR.

Both rider and bike were thoroughly cooked. You can conclude from this accident one of three things: 1: BMW's attract lightning and the government should make them pay millions of dollars to people hurt by electricity 2: Motorcycle safety helmets attract lightning and helmets should be banned and the manufacturers made to pay millions of dollars to people with any type of head injury, caused by a helmet or not. 3: Yuppies attract lightning and should be made to sell thier condos to pay millions to those who have to put up with thier in car cell phone use while negotiating heavy traffic. That should keep the same people who cost the tobacco industry millions happy.

It has been forever since the computer worked, and there wasn't a million things between job and home to do. I've have gone on 6 field trips, and helped out at PTA. I added a second mortgage company so I can do more loans, I did 17 my first two months. Lots of hours. I apologize for not being able to reach so many, but windows 98 finally did me in. Just getting email to work, yes the end of windows 98 v1, I am going to XP on all computers, and using thunderbird for the email program. How the heck are you all doing ?????????????????? It is great to see the fun you guys have, don't know if I can catch up on so many months of email, but I will try. We have some drizzle today but it has been fantastic weather.

Lots of cloud cover today, should be cooler, its been in the 70s this week so far. Here in San Diego, our county fair is getting ready to start this friday. Lots of controversary as they are bunning all guns even for law enforcement and FBI folks. My dad went on Curmudgeons sub last week, said it looked cool. Its docked right next to the ship from Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Two different worlds there. NO more floods, and grass is green, getting greener. Love the beginning of summer. Hope everyone is in great health. Tim WWJD Reply tangerine-jack Member sinceAugust 2004 From: Virginia Beach 2,150 posts Posted by tangerine-jack on Wednesday, June 8, 2005 11:22 AM Hey everybody! Welcome back, Tim!!! I've been very busy this week in preparation for a long field exercise, so I haven't been active much on the forum. I will be leaving Saturday and not back for about 2 weeks. There are a lot of things to do to prep the house and garden/pool for being gone for that amount of time. To make matters more complicated, the contractors have shown up to start work on my house addition. I came home yesterday to find the porch and front siding gone. Would have been nice if they called ahead to let me know. I haven't done much on the RR in the last 2 weeks or so, I'm just enjoying it right now. When I get back I have a project or two to work on, I'll be sure to post some pics. The weather is now in the 3H phase- Hazy Hot and Humid. Mostly around mid 80's with 80% plus humidity, so I limit the amount of heavy work during these summer months. I am mostly planning on putting up some buildings and reworking some of the landscaping in the original RR area to bring it up to my current standards and also to incorporate some of the things I've seen on this forum that I liked. Take care all!!

I hope you and the Misses are doing well. Unfortunately we missed the group kickoff. Did you make it? It sounded like a fun time. I'd like to bring the boys to a few open houses this summer but not sure how it will work out. Geri and I are writing for a travel Web site and are out of town many weekends. I doub't I'll even get to laying any track before winter! Now there's a sobering thought. [:(] I hope to see you around before you "fly south." Have a good rest of spring and we'll see you around.
