Meh, Sally still looks like she has a few good years left....you deserve it.
Wade looks good, is the aircraft biz serving him well, or is he back to making bikes?
Your mom rocks.
Hell, you all rock, you Garro's.
We're just back from a two week road trip through Colorado, had a pretty good time, and found Salida and Absolute Bikes, finally.
Good onya for taking a much needed break, Ed says "hi".

Great pics, takes me back to my first(and only) cream puff, Steve had me fired up enough to think I could finish it on my MB-1, I did, but had to drink sangria for three days just to recover.... Eugene, damn bro, any chance I can get the Willets back, haha. Cheers, Hilary
Killer trip Steve! We enjoyed the pics. Nice stringer of trout!
Those pics are awesome! Glad you had a good time and got to see family and friends. I feel sorry for the person who ate your pie, you don't look very happy.
Welcome back Steve! Happy to know that you and D had great time! Oregon is another bike heaven. I missed Oakridge and all of these Oregunian friends!
