Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.

Bill,
You were pretty close. I looked up the definition:

PALOOZA

an all-out crazy party; partying at one place with a ton of people like there is no tomorrow


You just needed more people! Crazy people!

Road trip anyone?!

Yeah, I'm still looking for scans of the AVI large scale catalog. Some of those vaporware designs looked pretty cool. On par with the Centuri Super Kits.

You’re an INFLUENCER!

I hope the fame and fortune doesn’t mean you’ll forget us!
