I have been there ttwice and that is two times too many, as far as I am concerned. The first time a massive wind storm arrived the same evening we did and the second I got into a massive verbal debate with a buch of school board folks from around the country.

OK, I am convinced that Florida was in fact attached to Africa thousands of years ago
It was simply Africa hot the three days I was there.

Have you ever noticed how some guys are just never happy?
Just a few months ago, Kirk would not have cared about a pool...and if it was clear weather, he would have been quite happy.....
Now, listen to him gripe!
99 degrees and clear and sunny......just remember last winter.

Yep, I know Jay. We will be in the high 70s and low 80s around here today. Just a few months ago, we had 3' of snow and no power for 4 days.
Carl, perhaps one of us ought to drive from the airport?

Well, Kirk, I would fax you the flight schedule, but the new fax machine is not working. So, here is the landing schedule as I have it at this time: I arrive United 2691, May 28 6 a.m. from Frisco.

Sounds good Frank.
New hard drive installed and slowly working on the recovery. I think having to upload all the programs is the biggest pain. My data is there just cant swap it over until the programs are loaded

If Ford would snatch onto the Duramax and the Allison trans I would jump ship without a second thought, however I dont think thats going to happen with the way things are going.
We will all be driving matchbox cars and killing each other from the slightest of fender benders.
