jck, GTS_Rider, JVB, dad, jarvis, Sonic6, TRawls, Michelle, Chris, & Jager,
Thanks, all, for your posts. It's really interesting to see how Rush has affected our various lives. It's also nice to know that we've picked up a new member from California, to complement (or is that "balance out"?) The Dude...
I'm pretty sure that the gas station you described, dadsabiker, was the same one that Neil, Michael, and I stopped at. It was run by a feisty older woman. I didn't notice an attached restaurant, but I didn't get a good look at the station itself. Small world!
Neil seemed pleased to have a copy of your maintenance DVD, Jim, although I don't know if he's watched it yet. He does his own oil and filter changes, and I suspect he'll want to try some other things after seeing the video--after all, you make it look really easy.
I owe the MapSource route to a couple of other guys, Jager, and I'll add you to the list. I just need to download the tracks from the Zumo and convert them to a route. Hopefully I'll get to it in the next day or so.
Michelle, I enjoyed your thoughtful comments about the band. I'll send you a PM momentarily to follow up further.
Thanks again, everyone, for helping make this special occasion even more so!
Rick F.
