BAH!

I scoff at your suggestion I am either, lost, or long lost...

ok, so I'm only a little lost the mornings when I'm in a cloudy haze, driving down to High River

I'm good...

work and home-life stuff keeping me pretty freaking busy.

if I worked near you still, I would have totally poped by your work... but that isn't a two minute jaunt any more... I don't think the rest of the gang has really seen me any less...

we have messed around but not officially had a run yet..... lets just say it is hard to tell whats what but it seemed it would be very close.... jonathan did get giddy when we dataloged... and a couple other turbalt owners (who have rode in edward) seem to think i would give them a run maybe even more....
