How do you know when I’m posting the race thread. Did I forget to duct tape the camera on my laptop again?
wow, what a great use of duct tape.....does Homeland Security know ?
Ah, the wonders of the Droid. I also spend too much time on FR.
Probably. It’s yellow and says “Crime Scene Do Not Enter” on it. The fema truck handed it out when the creek flooded.
I have no experience with the first (iPhone bigot here - don't tell Tork), but probably way too much with the second.

canoe: pink
defibrillator: gray
now that is funny...in a sorry did not mean to laugh at your demise kinda thing
and I didn’t even bring up the pink canoe
LOVE this race! I was there last year, and I’m goin’ again on Saturday!!
Yah, I know, it just kinda floated to the surface :o)
Jet fighters in a gymnasium!
I would have been first if FR didn’t embargo my posts...
