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.

Or were they just regular pancakes? I don't remember, but I know I ate at least a dozen of them last year!!!!!!! The Reclining Flyers II consists of Greg Gross, me, Brad Bedell, and Mark Leuck.

I think we should re-name the team the "Bud-Wisers" ,not that Bud is on board. Whatever the name ,we're glad to have him on board.

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.

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. Grin

Oh dont' get me wrong the verizon helpdesk for customers is top notch Wink

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.
