Heading west on Thursday morning...

I have a road trip set for California. Not that I miss that State, but I haven't seen my mother, or my sister and her family in 4 years! I'll also visit with a few friends before heading to Southern Utah to visit my father's family. I'd hoped for a longer trip- perhaps into August, but something came up at the end of July which will cut it short.
Although I may look in on the forum from time to time, I will be unable to deal with forum issues. Sr. Moderator montanajoe will be acting admin during my absence. GBHQ has been made aware of this.
Joe, I'm passing you the admin ban hammer:
I think you'll be impressed with smooth and easy the admin hammer swings when compared to your Sr. Mod hammer. From personal experience, once the glass is broken and the admin hammer is out of it's case, you'll want to keep swinging away!

I'm surprised that you even keep glass on it Mark..... Have a nice trip.
That hammer picture is vintage.
This is most dire!
Enjoy your trip Mark!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
After you go through southern Utah take a little detour north up I-15 then west I-90 then up I-97, cross at Osoyoos and it's a short jaunt to Anchorage. Lemme know when you reach Gulkana and I'll put the coffee pot on for ya.
uh oh ....... there's a new sheriff in town.
Who the he** is MontanaJoe!
You knew somebody was gonna say it!
You do know I am just kidding Joe old buddy, old pal. 😃
Have a great trip Mark. Bob
have a great trip Mark, if you get near Bullhead city, Az I'll tell you where the keys to my Mustang are. ;-)
Thanks, Mike, but I'm coming into SoCal south on I-8.
Have a good trip, Mark. Thanks for the use of your hammer.
Have a good trip!
I think we should have a 'Moderator Of The Day', with full banning powers, but limited to one banishment per Moderator.
The bans would not be permanent, say only for 6 months or a year. Each Moderator would have to tell who they had banned, and why. And they would have to tell this info immediately because there is a very good chance that they themselves would be banned in the very near future.
The Moderator's names could be drawn from a tumbling machine (like those used for Powerball numbers) by a Super-Moderator, such as MontanaJoe or Nunn.
By the time Mark returns, the forum would be pared down to a small but elite group of individuals, upright in character and given to intelligent and articulate comments, revered by all and surpassed by none.
Enjoy your road trip, Mark. We'll be on our best behavior.
Make sure your AC is charged up.
Have a safe trip Mark, and please remind Montanajoe and his hammer - "All things in moderation".
Safe travels Mark.....
Have a great trip Mark, and enjoy your family.
Party at Mark's house......Friday.
You don't even have to BYOB, he has a nicely stocked bar. 😉
Be careful Mark, you know as well as anybody, you are heading into enemy territory.
Have a good trip I hope your AC is working and your gas card is fully charged.
Be careful Mark, CA is riddled with commies and social outcasts. Have a safe trip.
Joe
Have a safe road trip Mark and say howdy to southern Cal for me, I still have lots of family and friends there, but like you, I haven't been back in quite awhile...
Safe travels Mark! I can honestly say that I have never set foot in California. Came close once heading down the Oregon coast but stopped at Seaside.
How does it feel in the hand, Joe?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life

Have a good trip Mark and don't take any "KALI banned" items with you.
Well, I was kinda hoping for more of a ceremony/celebration with food, drinks,music,,,,,,,,,,,
or at least a cake for crying out loud....😨
LOL
I'm calling it a night, Joe. It's all yours.
Alright,take care,have fun.
Go West Young Man...and be careful out there!
I-10 is one long and boring drive. I spent a week driving across Texas one day...or at least it felt like it.
Good luck to ya.
