You're at the top of the hill, SVXride.
Happy birthday, Bill. You've crested. You can now gaze down into the valley that that lies ahead. Now you'll be looking for more mods to do on your own body, & less on the SVX.
Ron (catch me if you can).

Well you can pick up alot of speed on the down hill, just don't make any drastic moves over the crest or you could end up in the grass.
Happy B-day.

Maybe he partied too much last night! -Chike

Better late than never.....
Bill,
Sorry I (we) didn't get to post yesterday, but swapping trannys is so-o-o-o time consuming. I guess Chike will reap the rewards of our little "refresher course".

thanks! yeah, the rain finally did stop long enough that we got the tent packed up on Saturday evening before it started raining again Diana, thanks! It was nice to talk to you and Tom on the drive back from the camp ground! Hope everything went back together easily for the Pearlie! -Bill (remembering that "old age" is always 20 years older than you are ...which, in my case, means Ron's age )
