Hate to revive this thread, but the axe fell my way today. I knew about Friday the 13th, but didn't know about Monday the 13th. Company RIF, and many of us 10yr+ vets were escorted out. I had over 13yrs. Things have been shaky since 2001, and lots of RIFs the last few years, so it's kindofa relief to get it over with.

I guess the good news, is I'll get my 401k and retirement money out before they can steal it from me.

Thank God I own a bike (or two) for good psychiatry sessions when needed. And, for humor retention and good friends to ride with, the FLA Crew. Both Godsends.

This is too bad, the economy is not looking good in general, Fla is worse than national average. This is America and I know we will get through it but I forgot how much it sucks when you have a real recession, and I am not even impacted yet. I have to give respect to you two on how ya are handling it. I am ready for a ride on Friday, if you two are up to it, lunch on me.

Well, that's the bad news for sure-
The good news is that now work obligations won't stop you from going to the Ocala Rally.

Wow bud, I'm really sorry to hear the bad news. It's been a long time since there has been any good news going around.
However on the upside, it seems you are now eligible to become a member of the Palm Beach weekday 300 mile Lunch Bunch.
