That's a beautiful and traditional old Irish prayer, Cashmb. And as a beautiful and traditional old Irishman, I thank you, Shewolf.

OK, you four FNG's take good care of Screaming Eagle. LOL  Anyone know what the average percentage of FNG's there are on the run each year?

Wow!!!  A lot more than I would have guessed.  For you FNG's, who are at Rancho on May 15, don't forget to attend the FNG meeting.  Tuesday, May 15.  VERY IMPORTANT!!!

And if FNGs make the Run to Riverside National Cemetery on Tuesday morning, they'll be back by noon if they don't stop for lunch or to see the March Field Air Museum that's across the freeway from the Cemetery.

Mayor, my five FNG's are going to RNC.  Eating is the only part of the run that is optional.  Welcome home Gman.  It will be an honor to meet you in Corydon.

One of the FNG's that I invited this year just asked me to dinner tomorrow night.  Ok, that is nice, I will come.  Then he tells me that he also invited 25 riders who are coming down from Washington state to Rancho for RFTW.  They are going to stop by on the way down.  Where is "by" you ask?  China Lake.  No one knows where China Lake is.  It's classified.  Way to go FNG!!!LOL  What the heck, if you can find China Lake you can join us for dinner tomorrow night.  I will bring the beer.

Bike's been ready for a couple of weeks. I just started packing last night. This morning I realized I forgot a red shirt for Fridays. Gotta go through it all again tonight. New I should have done this sooner. Like my dad always used to say "G..D... Bonehead."

There are a lot fewer FNG's today.  Ride safe.  Hope to see you all next year.
