I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

If they're coxless, shouldn't they be competing in the Paralympics instead?

I know that bob posted this for it's headline humor but the article mentioned Sir Steve Redgrave who is a remarkable Olympian:

And the reason I have an interest in rowing is that one of my best friends is a two time Olympian (and silver medalist) in the men's eight, Moscow and Los Angeles.

Eric wondered what I was laughing about and saw your ATV, Jaybee. He wants to know what kind it is.

That's entirely possible, I was there mid-morning. Make sure you do the 'draft test' thing at some point because there's a java file to download for it.

Well, the short story is that my ATV is a Can-Am Outlander 800 XT - but that's not my ATV in the avatar.

The longer story is thatIreallyhaven'tmasteredresizingpicsforavatars(I'mnotUlyafterall)andIwastryingtosetupanavatarforanATVforumformyATVbutinsteadIsomehowgotTHISpicofTHISATVanditgotpostedontheBAMboredinstead.
