I miss you guys.

I miss Europe.

The driving sucks in the states..... it takes all day long to get anywhere because the speeds are TOO FREAKIN SLOW and they treat you like a criminal if you are doing 80 MPH anywhere..

The roads suck

the quality of the drivers suck

the standards of the machines on the roads suck.

I have no driving or riding time anymore, my workload is out of control.

Even now I am "out of town" on business, and I just happened to be near a computer with internet.

I miss the hard driving so much..

My T/A and my bike are doing fine, but most of the time they have been parked, sometimes the battery disconnected, fuel stabilizer added due to me being deployed or out of town or just too busy to even use them.

But I still keep them highly maintained up to TUV European standards.

Oh well .... just saying hello to everyone. 8)

Hi.

I am not looking forward to having to go back for the exact same reasons you listed.

However, I wouldn't mind being able to stop by Walmart anytime I want or be able to pick up car parts at 9PM on a Sunday :)

Keith are you riding a bicycle now? Or did you get a set of really cool orange coveralls to work on the car with?

Ouch ... what did you say in response? "I was sleep-driving and dreamt I was still in Germany"? :lol:

no, tried the military on TDY, got to get back quick because there's an exercise in 2 days (the truth), but it didn't work. He gave me a $375 speeding ticket vs. a $440 reckless driving.
