    But I have to ride tomorrow.

    Took red benz to mechanic tonight. So, tomorrow, I have to drive Lexus to the office. Have someone drive me to pick up Benz at the mechanic. Take Benz to home #2. Ride bike back to office, and take the Lexus home with bike on rack.

    I can't make it work without the bike!

    Isn't it neat how my bike enables me to get two cars home?

    20 mph on a curve?
    Go, Speed Racer, Go!

    20 mph was my top speed today and I'm pretty sure it wasn't going through a curve, that speed was probably about 5 mph

    Now that will be a record....the benz is only staying with Jorn (or however you spell his name) for one night!?! I won't believe it till you get it back!

    Sorry about your wipe out

    I can relate (all too well, as you know)! I too am allergic to neosporin (well, actually the neomycin in the neosporin) - are you allergic to mango as well (the oil in the skin of the mango produces the same rash that the neomycin does)?

    Take care, and when the scabs start to itch (which, they will in a few days), resist the urge to scratch! Here's to a speedy recovery.

    Mr. Silver -- Sorry to hear about the wipe out! I hope you recover quickly and completely!

    Your car / bike shuffling plan sounds like the old riddle about three missionaries and three cannibals on the bank of a river that they wish to cross. There is a boat available which can ferry up to two people across. The goal is to find a schedule for ferrying all the cannibals and all the missionaries safely across the river. But if at any point the cannibals outnumber the missionaries on either bank, the cannibals will eat the missionaries. Note that the boat cannot cross the river by itself with no people on board.

    One possible solution (highlight to read):
    Missionary 1 and Cannibal 1 cross
    Missionary 1 returns
    Cannibal 2 and Cannibal 3 cross
    Cannibal 3 returns
    Missionary 1 and Missionary 2 cross
    Missionary 1 and Cannibal 2 return
    Missionary 1 and Missionary 3 cross
    Cannibal 1 returns
    Cannibal 1 and Cannibal 2 cross
    Cannibal 1 returns
    Cannibal 1 and Cannibal 3 cross

    Hmm I know the story of the farmer. the grain, the chicken, and the fox. Same scenario.

    Mr Silver, do you shave your legs? I was thinking of the duct tape suggestion

    I guess after removing the duct tape you wouldn't have to shave.

    Your Benz is purty.

    Well, now I'll have some scars to compete with Silver's prolific collection!

    FBG: Yes, I did start shaving my legs a couple months ago and during the clean-up (and now with tape in my future), I'm glad I did. I have been a bit self-conscious of the shaving, but now I have a new perspective
