Bud Are you a Pancake or a Nutt?  HA!  It all rather sounds like we are going to a Boy Scout Fund Raiser rather then a bicycle race.

  I was hoping that there will be somebody from Dallas area was going to TTT so that I can ride with, since my wife gone back to work . I don't have any way to get out there for Thursday and Friday to hang out or help. No I didn't register for volunteer because I didn't know how things will work out .
If I don't get a way out there you guy have fun and I'll be putting you guys up in my Prayers.
  Lord Bless you guys.

Thomas :)

I took today and tommorow off to go but so far I've just been online with the verizon help desk (idiots) and watching them dig up my yard to put FIOS in.

The verizon help desk are not idiots.  FIOS! Humbug!  You just need to ask them the right questions about things like how to make tasty dishs spiced with curry and how the monsson season is going in their hometown in India.   ;D

Oh dont' get me wrong the verizon helpdesk for customers is top notch  ;) What I was referring to is the helpdesk employees get for computer problems at work $@#($ I have to send my new laptop back _again_ because it wasn't imaged correctly and they can't fix a minor issue unless I send it back or buy the software again for $$$ which we don't have.

Back on topic though I'm mostly just wondering when folks are heading down there.
