I am not leading a ride. I am going to Arlington to watch the Special Olympics with some of my cub scouts so they can earn their disabilities awareness belt loop. I also have a day camp flag to make.

I was thinking about setting one up, but the forecast is calling for rain all weekend. If it changes I'll post one.

For $230 you can ride with me. It'll be in a parking lot going around cones, but it's what I'm leading. :D

There are so many places I want to go with this conversation, and so many things I want to say, but I'm going to exercise some restrai...wait, never mind...uh, crap, I'm fighting the urge, but it's tough.

No rain until Sunday or Monday...I just read it on the Internet, so it's got to be true.

You get a card and some books, and the pleasure of my company for a weekend. Oh, and you can get your M endorsement when you're done. :D

What month? Good chance you've been legal longer than I've been alive as well, but only by a few months I'm guessing.

Yep, I've had my license about 35 years also, 1979 I think it was. Talk about a thorough test..."you have to stop between these two cones. Congrats, here's your license!" Ahh, the good ole days.
