Oh, the humanity
I just want to say that other forums I read/post on sometimes seem to be so completely technically oriented and humorless, and, frankly, boring, that robots must be in charge. This 50+ forum, happily, is so obviously humans, warts and all, problems, bellyaches, laughs, tears, everything. It's great.

One of the main reasons I visit this forum so often is for the same reasons that you have stated. Mind you- It is like that with all of us 100 mile riders.

Hush up and stay where you beeelonnng.
I'm gonna sing you a hush-up-yard dog song.
Dawg came to town, and lawd he was a jerk
Gary came to town, and lawd he was a jerk
A yard-dog pup can’t to do a big dog’s work.
Got the yard dog blues and I can’t be satisfied
Yeah, the yard-dog blues and I can’t be satisfied.
Gonna hit the information super highway, and then I’ll ride.
Ok, it's the best I can do at 5:49 in the morning. Improvements anyone? or shall we just let this thread die with whatever dignity it can muster.

Of course there's a couple of other words in the dictionary one could look up and see DG's picture--but it's best that we don't go there. Forget I mentioned it.

Recovery complete, stapfam, thanks for asking. It took about three-four days to feel normal again, whatever that is. I'm back to riding with enthusiasm!
