Sorry I haven't replied sooner - between my laptop and cell phone ,I 'm about ready to start passing out soup cans and laying string - breezed right by you Motordavid on I26 - will most likely be going that way if the roads are clear of snow - Murphy's Law - 1st time in 4 years I'm not wearing snow tires - will try to hook up on the way back

I got to meet Juan on my way from Atlanta to NJ - He is really great , as are all of you who chipped in and help mount his new steering wheel - he couldn't wait to show it off - Hopefully I'll make the next Meet.

Have passed a number of X5s in the NJ/Conn area - Have given polite waves so any of you noticing a blue X5 driven by a large man in a bright Hawaiian shirt , That's me.

Am heading back to SC in another week to see my realtor - Looking for a townhouse with a garage with closing in March-May time period - not too many around Charleston as I hoped - only 1 available as we speak ... er, read? - then it's avoid the snow to get back home - This is why I'm looking for an east coast home, so I can fly over the snow storms and tornados between SC & ID

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and help - I hope I get a chance to meet with you all
