Good to hear that the rest of your trip from where we parted ways didn't end badly.
I got my fourth wind (maybe fifth at that point) and absolutely crushed the roads heading home from Hancock.

An hour and 21 minutes, ha! Try something more like 45 minutes or so.  [evil]
I had forgotten about the crazy little windy narrow road that I took from 97 over to 191, I'll make sure to keep that one in regular rotation now.

Nice!  It's good to let the inner squid swim once in a while ;D

I read the whole thing too.

You, lethe, and Statler are my heroes....

I mean..... traveling as much as 26 ish hours (round trip) to hang out here?....

I'm not worthy.

To actually now "know" someone I've known for a couple years now, totally worth the effort.
Your funny laugh alone was worth it.

Awesome

Everyone did seem. .. .relaxed.

I notice that no matter how drunk a man gets there's 2 things he's always capable of doing because they're part of the base code and don't need higher brain functioning:

Sex

and

burning things.

Maybe not in any usable capacity, but god damnit, it'll happen.

I'm somewhat disappointed the fire walk pics didn't come out. ;D

I didn't take any pictures and Im kicking myself for being lazy and leaving the camera packed up.

I think I could have made that picture come out.

You made that look easy.  I was tempted to give it a shot [evil]

I followed this link from a pic JBubble found...

It is easy.

We can do it together this year. ;D
