I want to thank you one and all for your kind wishes.

Freedom - the 2009 Road Trip adventures have been both schemed and plotted and probably also involve whispering in Putin's ear (I just can't take the other joker seriously).
Any messages?
(How's this for a political post on a birthday thread? )

Shari - Not quite and amazing journey but a 300 mile test ride on the new 4-wheel toy I specifically got for on-road and off-road winter expeditions, before I take it in tomorrow to get fully rigged out.
I'm lovin' it!

Again, thank you all.
