NERDS check in please....

Glad to hear that you and Ruby made it back safe. You goy out of VT just in time. Even here in RI, which Irene missed for the most part, my power has been out since Sunday morning and is not scheduled to be fixed before next week.

YES! It was fun.. and as I sit home at the Hondarosa, listening to cricket symphony, and wondering about wandering some more - I am so ready for another big trip.. I simply love being on the road and all that's associated with it, good, bad, better, ugly or best!

Oh, I just decided to go for a 179.1 mile night ride just to to 'beat' you!

'jes kidding!

I completely understand that, Don. As anxious as I was to get home "to my own little bed" after 3 weeks on the road, I'd have happily gotten up the following morning and climbed back on the Feej for another long ride.

Here's to many, many more miles and smiles :drinks:

ABOUT TIME ~!~

Good to have you back.

Let me publicly add my own kudos and appreciation to you, Don, for making the long trip "back east". As I said at NERDS, having someone eagerly willing to travel the full breadth of the country to attend our little shoestring gathering really validates the entire premise: It's all about getting the people together, the camaraderie and the RIDING!!

With you, our last NERD, checked back in @home safely, I would have to say that the NERDS experiment was an unqualified and complete success!! :yahoo:

Thanks go out to everyone who attended and made it the great time that it was.

See you all next year (if not sooner)!!

+1000 :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

This was a great time and I'm looking forward to next year! Thanks again everyone. This year Marcia and I celebrated our 39th anniversary on this trip-if the dates are the same next year I may need to up the ante and buy her an ice cream cone too! The 40th gift is ice cream, isn't it?

Your pulling our legs. I mean, I can believe the you've been married that long, old man, but Marcia is far too young for that silly talk. :nono:

BTW - I think the 30th anniversary gift is ice cream. I'm pretty sure the 40th is cream of wheat. That way you don't have to put yer teeth in first.
