You are too young to suffer from the dementia that seems to affect your memories of me.   :rolleyes:

You are, however, quite lucid WRT Kathi.  Most of us here are blessed with wives who make us better than we would otherwise be.   The two of us certainly are.   :thumb:

Anyway, will be off-net for a few days for a gathering here, then probably off a few more trying to transform the set from "Animal House" to the home Kathi left when she flew out to Seattle last night.  She's already been checking on me this a.m. with all sorts of hints how to "eat right" while she's gone and, as Luap puts it,  "other senseless drivel."  :thewife: :laugh: 

Ciao!

Bill

P.S.  Grazie, Nick.   :bow:

Yes indeed. Welcome back, Bill. I always enjoyed your quick witted no nonsense approach to things.  From looking at that building of yours, I think you have room for another bike or three :evil:

Welcome back Bill.  The next time we ride it will be more than the little bit after Foxburg.  Eric now has a Centenario instead of that F800.

NOW you know why I started a bourbon thread.  It was to lure Bill back!
And Cam, I'm SO jealous.  Sitting on the couch healing from replacement surgery instead of leaving today (and it's glorious here) to meet up at The Grappa.  PLEASE-raise a toast and have one on me.
