Thanks to all for the good wishes. I'm really living up to my username at 56 today. I don't feel a day over 60.

Sunday rides are not what they used to be. My daughter is up in Dekalb at NIU, and since a little terrorist wrecked her Ranger in MAY (I foolishly dropped the collision and his fly-by-night insurance is stalling) she is without wheels. I told her that the boys and I will come up there on the bikes some weekend, but she wants to come home all the time and usually with a car full of local kids.

I got some positive responses for a new job. Will you all still talk to me if I go back to being a ( shudder....) "car salesman"?
