Bazinga, Birthday Buddy Boy!

Dittoes to all the above (and below). Might this be a good time to reply to this thread: ”What does your handle/screen name mean?” [and how to pronounce it?]

Thanks much, everyone, the well wishes are appreciated. It has been a nice quiet day, just the way I like them. I got to ride this afternoon, in beautiful weather.

Jim, the screen name: Q-Quality, C-Control, P-Program, M-Manager, S-Society, of, A-American, M-Military, E-Engineers. Pronunciation, just the way its spelled (to quote Wojehowicz that was on Barney Miller) BAZINGA Actually it is a combination of the acronyms I spelled out, my job title and the organization for engineers engaged in work with, or in the military, I am proud to be a member of. Nothing elaborate or secret, pretty boring, but its unique, and I can remember it, easily.

Everyone have a great week ahead, and get in some riding, where the weather is allowing. Stay safe in all the snow and ice up in the northern tier states and Canadian Provinces. You guys rock!!!

Bill

Happy birthday! I hope you find joy in the coming year, Bill. I'm sure it's a gift you've given others, because of who you are.

Sorry for the late birthday wishes Bill. Glad you had a good ride even though the temps have been much cooler than usual.

I appreciate the b'day wishes from everyone. It was a nice day, a good ride and I had my wife's lasagna for dinner, it doesn't get any better.

Jim, no pics, it was one of my regular routes that gets ridden every week. Getting out after two days of missing rides due to the winds was just what I needed.

Bill
