Here's to a safe and joyous Thankgiving to all.

I have had a dwindling presence here in the past several months because of crazy work demands. I've been on every other week for the past 5 months covering for both my area and that of another manager who went out on medical leave (stress). I barely have enough time to see my wife, let alone post anything here.

The 530xiT has been parked in the garage (only 5K miles since I bought it in Feb) and still awaiting a new set of wheels. Meanwhile, my wife has already put on 8K miles on her 330ci purchased in July. Both Bimmers are running quite nicely and providing plenty of enjoyment as to be expected.

The big news from me is that I'm retiring next July after 33 years and 10 months, but I'll probably continue working in some other endeavor since the wife and I have not yet been able to empty the nest. I have some job offers lined up, but my #1 priority will be playing as many rounds of golf as I can.

I hope everyone is well. Hopefully I'll be posting here more, as my traveling has ended for the year. Well sort of... The wife and I are jumping in the wagon and heading off to Vegas at 00:00 for a 4 day vacation.

Peace to all.

Regards, Mike
