That is/was my first successful video. Well, one I finished without cursing at the screen and throwing shit and yelling at the computer telling it how stupid it is.

LOL about the 3rd gear. It is s start, the more you go around the more comfortable you get with the track.

Thanks, my friends.

No, that was just the RV mileage. I don't even want to tally the fuel receipts . Now I have about 3,264,112 bugs to clean off the front of that thing. Still smiling from all the fun we had, so it doesn't matter.

I can't believe you were back last night . You must have been doing some marathon driving.
