    i wish i could join you. I have a nephew's birthday and a friend coming in from out of town. I don't think I will be able to ride. I want to do a winter ride/ camping in the next month or two though.

    If you use Smugmug, they have a free camera app that can auto upload pics. Take the pic and it's uploaded to your choice of smugmug location. Just checked the settings, you can also upload to Facebook, Twitter, tumblr, flickr, picasa, photobucket, & YouTube

    Camera awesome is the app name

    Hmmm. I know of a camping cabin that is empty. Has three beds, but we could fit another cot in there.

    I'd give a free bed and some great moonshine to anyone who could bring me a brake lever for an '09 CRF450X........ do not ask why I need it. See previous posts..... :deal

    Break. Break.

    I just walked out of my local DMV with a title and LICENSE PLATE for my CRF450X. Whoot whoot! Now all I have to do is install the Baja Kit and get it inspected. It might not be the right bike for slow trails and the farm, but man it will be a KILLER super Motard. Looks like I'll be searching for an extra set of wheels for street tires too. :evil

    No suggestions from me. 56 was messy west of 29 last week. Doubt it would be any better this week. There are 4 directions. Maybe we should try a different one. I'm not horribly picky on lunch, just prefer to avoid thai and Mexican and ... well OK I am picky.

    Somebody else pick this time.

    How many miles do you want to ride?

    Williamsville Road?
    Monterey & Blue Grass Valley?
    West Virginia?

    Hey guys...
    If I can find a brake lever for Jeff I'm going to pick that up and ride that direction. I can do that today with an overnight in the cabin or get up early in the am after I pick one up today and do it tomorrow. I can even ride over there today, stay then meet up with you sometime/somewhere tomorrow.

    Santa was nice and brought me some cool things this year. One of them is a Spot GPS Messenger. Id love to try it out on the back roads of WV.

    Chuck,

    For a minute there, with neither of you touching the flight controls, I was half expecting to see you turn a knob or flip a switch to land the plane.

    In the bottom view the FO turns off the autopilot around 2.03. You can hear the automation say "Autopilot". He is flying the plane from there. Thats why we like flying into DC. We actually get to fly the plane.

    From the dash view we really liked the shadow from the plane as we approach the runway. It shows the speed and size of the jet. Typical approach speed is around 135 Kts.

    I need a more exciting job. I suppose I could set up a GoPro behind my desk, and ya'll can watch me code for hours on end. The G forces might be too much for you though. :-) Yea, I need a career with more umph.

    Everyone's job is important. Some more exciting than others true, but we need all of you to make the world work. Thanks for all that you do.

    Trust me .... flying is not what it used to be. The glamour days are over. The flight attendants are older than dirt and the days can be long and very stressful. Two weeks ago during all the snow and ice storms I would have changed jobs with any of you. I was gone for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I will be working New Years. Lets ride!

    Chuck, very cool. Although it seemed to be in slow motion. Wow. Did you fly up the Potomac from the south? It looked like you flew right over Bolling AFB.
