Hello all,
Long time lurker, short time poster. Been riding/racing since 1969. Caught the bug from dad, who would sit me in front of him on his little Honda. Anyway, had a bit of a nasty one at turn 2 at Sears (it will always be Sears to me). Off my feet for a while, gave me a chance to catch up on a lot of online reading. I finally decided to make my '06 registration official by actually posting! Thank you everyone for all your contributions to this site and all the entertainment you have provided. -------------------- I intend to live forever, or die trying. - Groucho Marx

Thanks, somedamnwriter. I must admit there were times when the trolls really tempted me to reply, but I realized I'd be adding fuel to the fire.

Yes, I rescue boxers, especially white ones. There's been many that I took care of until they were adopted. Personally, I've had 2 whites (m/f, both now gone) and a brindle (m, adopted by a friend after I moved to NJ). No dog right now, but after I settle in I'll start again.

Welcome to the forum!!!
-------------------- "One particular thing that Formula-1 can provide you, is that you know you're always exposed to danger. Danger of getting hurt, danger of dying. This is part of your life, and you either face it in a professional, in a cool manner, or you just drop it, just leave it and don't do it anymore really. And I happen to like too much what I do to just drop it, I can't drop it." (Ayrton Senna)
''It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.'' (Ayrton Senna, pre-season 1994) ''With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high'' (Ayrton Senna) |
