bakerzdosen Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 With Matt only having one thumb worth a darn, and falling apart in the middle, we couldn't have elected him cross country monkey now could we?Hence the new avatar... Well, straight to voice mail for my last call of the evening... Must be a popular guy. So, I guess the real question is: Do the Jax folks get to be introduced to his balls? I'm sure he brought them - right? If not the balls, then surely the screws. Link to comment

RT_Pilot Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Gave our boy a few updates on local new and weather in case he’s home-sick. We were talking about the thread specs when he starts laughing (I’m thinking he starting to get a little punchy), but he says I’m getting lit-up, must be PRC [nervous laugh], yeap, its him Tallahassee’s finest … I reiterated ericfoerster comments about people staying awake to see this through, he thought that was cool. Let him go, still sounds fresh with about 2.5 hours to go, amazing (23:14 pst) Go go go … Link to comment

ElevenFifty Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm a new guy here - have only met a few of you at a Tech Daze in ATL . . . This thread, this group, and Richard's Ride, are just a treat - Thanks for a great time - With apologies to Clement Clarke Stone and Twas the Night Before Christmas . . . Twas the 14th of December in two thousand and six, for 48 hours Rich had taken his licks. Riding cross country, his GPS as a guide Cell on auto-answer and HOONS on his side. His wheels just kept turning and burning the miles While we sat at PC's and keyboards with smiles We all were there with him, in spirit at least As the conquered the country from west heading east We laughed at his antics with Fido and Lassie And gave him an escort as he passed Tallahasee The Pacific behind him, the Atlantic ahead And when the party is over, a comfortable bed. And on into JAX to greet friends not yet met Sunrise at the beach . . . nothing better than that! And friends the world round in your ear on the phone Shouting - Go Richard Go! ...When you're riding a Beemer, you're never alone Go Richard Go - and THANKS - Hope it was as good for you as it was for us!

Matts_12GS Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Indeed, it was great to meet up with Richard and rest of the Jax gang this morning. And before Huzband says anything, I want to make sure my quote is not misrepresented.... I said "I'm almost the perfect woman; you know a nymphomaniac that owns a liquor store." Other than the woman part ( and no San Franciso jokes either Richard!) And the liquor part, we're just beer and wine Link to comment
norah Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hey Richard, Piece of cake, right?? Glad you made it safe and sound and now you can enjoy the ride back. You've got a lot of stories to tell, I'm sure, so we'll be looken. Congrats!! Link to comment
StretchMark Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 These pics just in courtesy of Bill Ferran (roadscholar). Thumbs up to the Jax crowd for bringin' him home! Link to comment
BeniciaRT_GT Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I can't even begin to express with words how much y'all mean to me and what you did for me!!!!! The ride was really a piece of cake, because I had so many azmazing co-pilots!!! This wasn't so much me doing something, but what so many people can do for one person. I tried to read a few posts, but realized it will take me hours to read them all, so I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all!!! I could never begin to individually thank each of you, but somehow I hope I'll be able to repay each of you!!! When I posted this, I knew I would be overwhelmed with "love," but I don't think I could ever have predicted something like this. I'm having a hard time even typing through the tears from all this from you all!!! Talk about a family! If only most of the world could have a family this tight, loving, and supportive, we truly would have a peacful and happy planet! I feel like a million bucks, all because of you!!! Thank you all so much!!! I'm going to go nap, and I hope to have internet access and time to get back to this thread soon!!! Link to comment

sidetoside Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Congratulations, Richard!!! The Waldow family is truly in awe of your accomplishment, and for that reason are making you an honorary "Waldow." "Where's Waldo(w)? um.. I mean, Where's Richard? Well, he's in San Diego,... um no, I mean, he's almost in Tuscon, no ...um I mean he's somewhere in Texas, ...no really, he's somewhere in Louisanna, ......or is that Florida. Sheesh, I just can't find that guy.... Everytime I turn the page, he's somewhere else. Link to comment
