It was asked if the weather was bad in the northeast. That can cause thought provoking threads.

Another beautiful day in the northeast. Being the top poster, your curiosity is understandable. Ok, here are some numbers for you. You went to Viet Nam in '68. Just guessing, but it was probably "put down your books and pick up a gun" (highest respect to combat vets) and you were drafted at 18. That puts you at about 64 now. You joined the club here 30 months ago. A lucky guess might be that was around the time of your retirement. Retiring in your early 60s - maybe a government job.

Your tag gives you 74,200 posts. Over your 30 months membership, thats 2,473 posts per month or 82.4 posts per day. Thats 3.4 posts per hour round the clock.

Time to go for a ride and enjoy the nice weather.

Kool. Sorry, guess I over did it. It's a fine line sometimes. I've gotta stretch to turn Rainman into a compliment, but ok.
