Done that before, problem is I won't be employed to pay it back

Dirt bikes... This is an Enduro where they have to maintain a specific speed through the woods and have check points where minutes and seconds count. They need to maintain a 24mph average through the woods, trails, some two tracks and roads. A lot more difficult than it sounds! Imagine doing that on an old Harley back in the 30's, 40's, and 50's..... river crossings and some of the roughest routes they could lay out! And the Jack Pine started as a two day event, starting in Lansing and heading up north and back into Lansing!!

I'm technically still employed. I'm on paid leave status, but no one seems to know for how long. My long term disability is filed, but could take up to 6 months. I don't see em keeping me on paid leave that long

Anybody ever try Zodiak vodka? I find it quite nice. Made from Idaho potatoes in the bank of the Snake River.

Back from the eye appointment. No more 20/15. Got 20/20 vision now. Getting old sucks.

Ya know, people are often time just stupid, but all of you know that. Was working on some family tree information and on a particular website there was information regarding my maternal great grandfather and grandfather that was incorrect. The name and contact info of the contributor was listed. I sent a very nice email outlining my relationship to the persons she listed and explained her information was incorrect. You guessed it....received an email back telling me she is sure of her sources and I am incorrect. What are ya gonna do?
