Those I Need To Thank

All the guys who whined at me long enough to convince me to attend P1. It was a long trip during a busy time, but it was well worth it in knowledge and friendship.

Lew for sending me those metric Allen wrenches when I didn’t know crap from fat bacon.

Crak4U for setting us up in the catbird parking spots at the Balloon Fiesta.

To the King for the sweet cooker; I will always think of you when I fire it up.

A1 for always having time to fix something or talk about bus problems. Next time I call, it will only be happy talk about airplanes

All the numbnuts who ratted me out to my wife about having posted almost 1000 times on the board while she thought I was just working at the computer

And lastly to the a-hole that sent the rancid strip steak to my house in the mail because I left Polk City without it;
the a-hole who mailed the second raw steak to my house that leaked in the envelope and smelled like hell in my mailbox;
the a-hole that put the For Sale sign on my coach while I was parked in the RV park;
the a-hole who decided it was better to wake me up by starting a Series 60 that was 2 feet from my head rather than just call my name;
the a-hole that sent me the rubber dog crap and causes me to suspect every package that comes in the mail;
and lastly to the a-hole who just this week had a pizza delivered to my house during the formal dinner I had to host for the
president of our largest customer - MangoMike Anderson – the man who wears his clothes out from the inside.
