I just got back from a 14 day mission... it's been a brutal couple of weeks out here.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the recently departed. 

I'd like to take this time to thank all of you for the well wishes and support that I've received from this board over the past few months.  As an update, my divorce will be final in the next ten days or so.

Wishing that I could swap my body armor for some leathers and be back on two wheels again.  I'll be in touch when I can.  Regards, Adam.

In the war zone and a divorce.  Man, that is a lot of weight.  Keep your head in the moment and make it back home safe and sound.

Be safe out there and keep your head in the game. [thumbsup] Congrats on the soon to be granted divorce. Been there, done that. It's a license to start over. At least you have a loving, faithful Ducati waiting for you when you come home!! [clap] [Dolph] [beer]

And yes, RIP to all those recently departed. Hurts to watch the story on the news. Sad day indeed.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I think you would need to go back to the Bronze Age Indus River Basin civilizations when the early hydraulic societies emerged

Nothing more can be added that hasn't already been well said by the others.

Other than I share the same wishes.

Randimus and I welcome you to Colorado when you're back for some fun twisty rides in the mountains

Stay safe Adam!

She's right - all I can do is parrot what others have said, but that doesn't make it less sincere: Stay safe, Adam!

To the contrary, through the 20th century several different leading figures in the country made steps towards modernization and secularization (the success of these efforts seems to have varied). From about the mid 1970s onward things have gone all pear-shaped.

I wonder what became of those leaders....

Stay safe  [thumbsup] so you can get back here to  [Dolph] and  [beer] [drink]
Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Stay safe and stay sane - I am never sure if I should congratulate anyone on a divorce, so I will wish you better things to come. Once you are back stateside, and if you find yourself in Houston, let me know - I would like to get you drunk in gratitude for your service... also because getting drunk is a lot of fun [thumbsup]
