Hello world
how about changing the time to later in the day say dinner time so that those of us who ski all day can have a chance.
Hi Todd – Day jobs are ideal for surfing the internet. :)
Sounds like fun.
I wanna play… but that’s too early in the morning on Tuesdays… can you just mail me the tent now instead
Hi John – I realize you are usually just heading off to bed after a big night of action around that time (10:00am), but if you want a quality tent instead of that second rate stuff you use (Tents Need Fixing), you are going to have to make some sacrifices.
Good luck. :)
