Getting to know you.

[gded]

Just got hooked up to bc. glad to be part of your family. I'm a driver, on my 25th year.

 

[stevetheupsguy]

Welcome to the BC, gded. Tell us a little bit more about yourself. What region? etc...

actually steven, i got a question for you, I am sure I have beeninterpreting this wrongly (lolly, lolly , lolly get your adverbs here) but right under your name, it states 30 years and counting which I initially thought meant 30 years at ups but you are 43 years of age so what do you mean by "thirty years and counting" ?

I guess I'll have to change this, as it is confusing everyone. I'll make it 30 years to go, since they keep raising the retirement age.

Very pretty...has it changed much in the last 3 1/2 years?

 

[dilligaf]

No, just more houses. And you did that on purpose didn't you? LOL

That white mtn in the very far left background is The San Fransisco Peaks. They already have a 60" (I think, though it might be 40") base at the Snow Bowl.

Now I have to change it back, as it's been that long without a gulp, swig or a snort.
