    So, it finally happened, I've got my orders (pending tomorrow's medical clearence exam) and I'm shipping out to Iraq on the 15th of November.

    Ja, ja ..., who the hell cares, you say? Good point and I just can't come up with a good comeback to that one. None the less, comeover to my place on Saturday if you want to take the opportunity to see me drunk on Mescal one last time. I'm kidding, I better not see or smell any of that mexi-fuel in my yard.

    When: Saturday the 1st
    Where: 2139 Orchard Ave, Grand Junction

    So, I'll make some green chili and fry a turkey (must celebrate passing the med clearence). You pay homage to me with beer and other fabulous refreshments. Bring yar bike and we'll have an old fashioned KTM engine-oil-leaking competition -- it's my specialty this year and I've been in training with the 625 --.

    Since the ex moved out of the house (I know you were all wondering when that would finally happen), there is plenty of room to crash out on couches, a guest bedroom, soft floors, and holding on to the toilet as you swear for the umpteenth time that you really love this nice cool porcelan god.:photog

    Uli,

    Yeah man what they said. Never met (at least not that I remember) but be careful and come back safe. You have to show me the Uncompahgre single track someday.

    I hope all of your days in Iraq are safe ones. :huh

    You will be back for O'Kokopelli III, right? If not, send me your address, I'll send biscuits.

    You will be missed (and worried over).

    Uli, I liked you instantly, though we only met once (at the Escalante jumpin' pools). Stay safe.

    I'll try to get by... went with you and a few of the FF's to Mineral Springs at the beginning of the season and tried to catch up ever since... You're a stand up guy...

    Be safe and I hope to see you Saturday.
