I apologized..What else do you want me to do?
Back to Dragon stuff.....other than wrecks.
I had brand new S02's for this trip, they have excellent grip in the wet, in a few places I carefully tried to get them break loose, it took some effort and some ham footedness.
Now when I touched either painted surface in the wet they would loose all traction.
The only completely clean no traffic run I had is when Kevin and Naveed and I rolled in Thursday evening in the damp. I also saw a Bear on the side of 28 when we arrived, I pointed but no-one else saw him.
And what about all the Wild turkeys?, I must have seen a dozen.

Well there you go. An apology was issued and should be accepted. Just don't let him drink at any gatherings. 

As I said to Vladimir several times you should have just apologized and stopped posting.

Bill apparently clipped a quail when we were doing an evening run on Friday 
As far as whats been going on with all the drama ... Let me just say this...
Maybe its your personality, but when you're new to a group that already knows one another, you need to approach things differently.
If at my first meet, I told Skip he was stupid ... even if I was joking, it could be taken the wrong way. If I did it now, after having been to a few meets and hanging out with Skip, I'm sure (well I hope)
he'd know I was joking ..
Its a first impression kind of thing. As a group, the only thing we have to go on about who you are is that you wrecked your car (unfortunate, but honestly as a first impression it says to us that maybe you were pushing the car beyond your own limit), that you got drunk, and angry with the bar tender, and then you went onto the Mid-A two-way radio and publically stated that you owned a 'glock' and would be willing to use it.
Now, thats all I know about you. If thats all you knew about a person, is that someone you'd want to be friends with? Honestly now, thats not a good first impression. I understand you saying beyond the bar tender incident that everything was a joke and we're blowing it out of proportion. But we have nothing else to go on ...
You need to try and be a little more humble, try and make some friends before you go off trying to joke with people not knowing how they'll react.
Anyways, I'm not trying to take any sides here, I didn't get a chance to meet or talk to you at all during the Dragon, and so I honestly don't know you. Hopefully my first impression of you won't be more of whats already been mentioned above...
I've still been too lazy to get my pics up, but Meg is uploading hers now ... will let you know once they're up
