So, why did this take me a year?

Here's my shifter ****.



Here's how it looks now, with the wires hooked up.



Muuuuuch better.

Got an iPhone.

How did I exist before this? Humanity begins with it.

I'm betting the Cylons invented it. That #3 -- she's pretty crafty.

You are a toy boy, then again aren't we all. iPhone drool. I gatta get Merlin one of those right after the 52" LCD display to go with his Sony surround sound home theater system. Merlin loves surround sound and 24 volt drills too.

Frau gave me the green light for a giant flat screen thingy -- after my year in iraq. Something about my being her tech support, and being gone during that time, and nothing new / prone to have issues if I'm not around. Not that I blame her.

No doubt on the iPhone... I'm two weeks in and loving it... still some room for improvement, but not much... I've had every significant PDA / smartphone in the past 12 years.... this is certainly my favorite.

Yeah, just replaced my 8 year old 65" Mitsubishi TV with a Samsung 67"... it's awesome.... and (if done right) will have no tech support issues (no lamp to burn out, etc.)

Know that great feeling of slamming it into 6th gear?

Yeah, that's me, in this message. 1101, right here, right now.

(Be quiet, Paul)

Paul et al,

Am in Hawaii. Got in last night. All is good. Family is good, new house is good, cold beer is really, really good.

Tess is on the island. I'll get her on Tuesday -- my bad for arriving on a holiday weekend. How's this for priorities -- I'm going to get Tess first thing Tuesday, before going to the office for the first time.

All will be better on Tuesday. Oh, and guest room is open for business. W3606 -- FTW!

What are you ever going to do without the Autobahn? Can you even get over 4th gear on the Islands?

Tess and I are celebrating out two year anniversary with a quiet weekend getaway on Maui.

Unfortunately, the wife and kids discovered our plans and, well....

Still an awesome weekend -- I'll post photos later the weekend from the drive up Haleakale.

Two years? It's hard to believe, it seems like yesterday we were counting the minutes till our Mystic Mini's were to arrive. Merlin just turned 20,000 miles (I dont have to drive to work) and got a new set of shoes. By far the best car I have ever shared my life with.
