Yes. I know what your next question is and no, I wasn't extradited. It was just a vacation.

How can you tell if you are on vacation? Any giveaway clues like no free coffee?

Sharing a room with my sister who snores like a train. I slept in the lobby the first two nights until I was exhausted enough to sleep in the room. Except for the night she got drunk and was hurling over the balcony.

You're missing out, especially the Saturday regulars. Our glorious leader got us lost twice. They need to pre-ride new routes.

I think they're still looking for a 3rd ride leader. Might be too slow for you though.

Ya I know they want to make a 3rd slow group. Probably too slow for me, but man some of those old guys can really hammer.

Still have about 2 liters of Tangerine and another 3 liters of Blood Orange. Going to set up some Lemon this week, but that will take about 3 months to finish.

I am bummed that my chemistry set still has not arrived... Thankfully, I used the credit card and I can just deny the payment if I do not see positive action...

Those over 50 guys? I'm surprised they can still get out of bed.

What flavor are the big blue ones?

I thought you were talking about stuff to help me sleep. Or keep me awake.

Ahhh! The Dr. develops the big blue ones, I just needed assistance on the calculations for increased volumetric displacement based on absorbtion rates of a solution within a specific temperature gradient.

However, my Tangerine will help you fall asleep and the Blood Orange will help you stay awake. I must point out, the side effects to my elixirs can be severe if you overdose. Symptoms include vomiting, headaches, upset stomach, and dizziness.

Still undecided but leaning toward appearing as I'll also be doing the Ride Around the Bear ride so would like to use HH as a lead up to it. Need to find a hotel room first as the rooms at start/end site are all booked.

For anyone willing to provide feedback on this answer, please write back and indicate how often you use Viagra, and in what quantity so I can prepare an equivilent dosage. I will provide my elixir to you free of charge to see how they compare.

I think this is called a 'clinical trial', but my elixir does not have the ability to make you a member of 'Rock Racing'

If it can't make me a member of RR how could it possibly be anything like Viagra? Isn't that what VIagra is for?

Yeah, Viagra should make you a member of RR... but I am not making Viagra, only something that will give you the same side effects (according to IanInSD)...
