Yeah but I was up 4 hours before you and, as Kenny can attest to, drank the last jar of shine while I helped make breakfast that you slept through :doh:

that and my days of drinking till I pass out are over.... unless i'm near a nice comfy bed.

Besides I was just busting your balls ;)


Is the 4bt going to be in for this upcoming trip????

If I still haven't gotten my brakes figured out (more like $$$ to figure it out) i'd like to get a ride in it if your solo
