Yep! I miss the changing of the seasons until I see a blizzard or polar vortex go through the North, where I'm originally from (Minnesota). Otherwise, I enjoy BBQing with the family outside in January. I love Chicago and have been there many times -- mostly for the pizza. :)

So you're from Minnesota dontchya know. (Sorry, couldn't stop myself.)

I'm born and raised in Chicago and HATE IT. Actually, HATE is not a strong enough word. It's a great city to visit but you wouldn't want to live here. Been trying to relocate to a warm-weather climate but with no luck so far.

You are always welcome to come bunk in one of my boys' rooms. They smell like funky teenagers and my one son's room looks like a war zone, but the other plays drums for marching band and wind ensemble and practices in his space -- so you have your pick. ;)
Sorry for the takeover, Raege. :)

Ok, so I admit it; I've been a lousy member of R2R and a crappy friend. I could give all kinds of excuses/reasons why I went MIA but will save you the agony. Bottom line is I jumped out of the R2R ocean without warning or saying anything to nearly anyone. It was an uncalled for and selfish act. So, I offer my apologies to you, and anyone else, that I had built a cyber-friendship with through this forum. I won't let it happen again.
I think we all disappear from time to time for various reasons but hey, we all have families, changes, issues, etc. so welcome back! (I just returned too) lol

Thanks been reading up on instruction language going to be a nice tool and love the control from iPad or phone. Thanks again for hooking me up. :)

I love mine Ray, its a game changer! Word of caution, have a back up plan ready and available for critical life support components. I lost my head unit back in spring and man did it suck. Was totally unprepared and with my pants down. They replaced it which was cool, but total cluster bleep for like 2 weeks.

My husband is a former comedian and thinks he still is one. My entire life involves non-family friendly comments for humor's sake and sarcasm. And man... I have about twelve things running through my head regarding this post that I wish I could type up, but can't. ;Hilarious

I do believe your husband and I would be thick as thieves! Oh, and I doubt he's a former comedian. That's like saying someone is a former Marine. Once a comedian, always a comedian!

In other words, you are always in trouble just like me.

Keeping the filter on is difficult at times :) Letting those slow pitches go without a swing,,,,, I think a party with all of us in attendance would be the stuff of legends:cool:
I'm only allowed to get arrested once a year -- although last time it technically was just a warning. So the party would have to wait at least six months. ;)

Could you all imagine the debauchery if we got a hundred or so of us together? Just meeting with 7-8 of these folks has been dangerous enough.
I believe it should be named "Raege's Rage".
