I’m not here to crash the party…

I am not bibulous. But I do have a proclivity to disport with words.

I, for one, hope to see some photos of the bike being ridden over there! I hate that someone felt they had to try to make you feel unwelcome. You know what you are there for, no matter what flack you get from civilians and media.
I don't mind if private messages are posted (and that wasn't done in this case anyway), if the pm'er was ashamed of her post, she shouldn't have sent it in the first place. I'm not sure why anyone feels his post was unecessary anyway- I thought it was great, although I don't like that there are the snarky weasely people out there who'd try to shut it down. If it somehow offends you, too bad, I enjoyed it (and several others too)and want to know more and see more photos.

Bruce - Welcome aboard (oooh, that's navy. sorry)!

When you get the chance, and the hair color discussion didn't scare you off, we'd like bike pics. Please?

And how many duffle bags did it take to get the bike to the big sandbox?

Essayons!

Oooh, that reminds me, Bruce the water bottles are from my boss. She's retired Navy. Hope you don't mind.

Thank you all very much! I mean that. I am not thin skinned, but my original intention was just to thank all of you who were so generous to me. I may be back and post some pictures and give some update as many of you have requested, but I will not be “a regular” here.

I have a beautiful bride of 22 years, and we are truly happy, and two wonderful intelligent daughters (one of whom rides quite avidly), they are my life. I get all the estrogen I need at home.

My intentions were and are honorable. I thank you all.

Oh c'mon. Who could ever have too much of us? All women without exception are wonderful, well behaved and tactful, thoughtful, wise, considerate, kind and perfect in every way. How could you ever have too much estrogen around?

Yeah right. Never mind.

I shared the idea for this with a friend who's a Col. in the Green Beret. Yes, the lefty liberal knows and likes a Green Beret Col. Anyway he said on his first tours (he's been at least twice) he jogged daily "in the walls" till a bullet landed right in front of his foot. Then he decided he did not need to jog.

But then he's a Col. so I don't know if they have to keep in shape? And he's only a Green Beret so he stayed indoors

So let's hear about the rides, and I hope you'll invite your daughter on the board. We're nice, really!!

Thank you for your service, MSG! I work with the armed forces, people who are coming and going to your area of the world regularly. I wish you a safe and speedy return. I know the job people are trying to do there is a tough one. In the meanwhile, enjoy the bike goods the two here were so kind to send you...
