Goodbye to IN and howdy back to TX
Hi All,
Finally, after a long haul, I am finishing grad school.
I will be taking a postdoc position at UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas TX.
Yes, I am going back home, at least temporarily.
It was loads of fun hanging out with all of you.
I made great and hopefully not temporary friends here in IN.
Thanks for all the shotgun rides at the Badlands and the enjoying times at the tech sessions.
My cruiser will now be the official commuter wagon to and from work.
It will also see the BBQ parking lot for the LSLC meetings.
I really appreciate all your hospitality.
The cruiser family is truly a great bunch of folks.
I wish you all the best.
Benji
PS:
Let me know if you want a FREE oil pump for 5gal gear oil.
Zee Line Manual Oil Pump — 5 Gallon, Model# 321 | Barrel + Hand Pumps | Northern Tool + Equipment
It’s going to the curb if you don’t come get it.

Well now Doctor Benji. Congrats as well on the accomplishment. You have certainly paid your dues to get where you are. I wish you and your family all the best and will miss you riding shotgun for sure. We sure did have some good laughs and a ton of fun taking that brown 60 all over the Badlands. How soon are you leaving? I just might have to come down there and rescue that pump from the trash heap. Would be good to see you off proper like anyway. Send me a PM with your number when you get a chance. Later.

Its about time you got off your butt and got a job, ya bum.
Honestly, congrats Benji its an accomplishment to be proud of. I will miss you and hope to keep in touch. This will give us a contact in Texas, and the way the thread from the mini UA trip to MO looks we may come see you in a year or two.
Best of luck
Mark

Congrats to you on that position!
My 60 and I are now full time residents of Brown County and IU.
We need to get together if only for an introduction and a cold Shiner Bock one day soon..
