    Sarge crashes his M1030

    Sarge I am glad you are OK. A dirt bike accident >20 years ago is why I don't walk well today. When you said you were digging things out of wounds, that I can feel for ya, I did the same, only I was in an inaccessible place and used a knife to cut a stick and peel it clean, to dig the dirt and...

    RE: Re: Road Trip TX -> North, SEPT 29 - OCT 14 Thanks for the names in order to go with the guilty parties! I'm just getting breakfast.
